A Loss by Only one Point

Last-Minute Victory to Knox

Lytton High held a 5-3 lead over Knox Grammar School of Sydney in their third rugby match, right until 45 seconds to go. With only that time, left wing Brian Guy topped a desperate bid by Knox and scored a try in the corner to give them a 6-5 win.

Lytton drew blood first with a try by prop Peter McGrannachan, seen here breaking through a tackle by Knox captain, Davy Conacher.
