Thrill For The Kiddies

It was a big day at the Gisborne Health Camp when Don Clarke and the rest of the Waikato team paid a visit by invitation from the Public, Relations Office. Here to play against Poverty Bay (see pictures elsewhere), the team dropped in on its way from the airport. The children were waiting to see them, with a football at hand in case any challenges were issued. It was a nice gesture on the part of the team, and an occasion the boys at the camp will long remember.
