Last year's star at left wing, Langi Kavaliku from Tonga, has returned, and with Charlie Rowe gives the Crimson one of the fastest pair of wings in the Eastern Rugby League. At the center positions, the starting slots are still undecided, but coach Dick O'Neil has much to work with...

Dave Holmes produced the winning tally on a 25 yard run. Capt. Churchill felt...
