AUTHOR’S NOTE
 
AFTER A TWENTY GOAL DRUBBING IN THE FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR, THE YOUNG SEAGULLS REBOUNDED AND IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY DURING THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. WITH FUTURE STARS LUKE DEMUNK, CHRIS BULL, KEVIN CORCORAN AND STUART HAMILTON IN THE TEAM,
 
NEW ROOKIE COACH, LES HOPGOOD, HAD SOME GOOD MATERIAL TO WORK WITH, AND WORK HE DID AS THE LADS IMPROVED TO SUCH AN EXTENT AS TO WIN THE FLAG IN WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONVINCING STYLE.
