1949 - SEASON REVIEW

A NEW DAY .The war was over. Hitler had been defeated and slowly and surely the country was returning to normal. Most of the troops had returned though some had sustained physical and mental injuries that would last a lifetime. Victory had been hard won and now it was time to return to the task of building this still relatively young country.

Frank Pearson had done his job well. The local football club was still intact and now it was time for him to step aside for others to take up the cause and help the club to advance.

The town and the club were approaching a new decade with renewed enthusiasm and a strong sense of mateship that had been re-enforced during the war years.

Pat Phillips was appointed Captain/Coach in preparation for the coming season. With several quality players in their ranks, the Seagulls were also hopeful of several more returning from active service. It was a time for celebration.
