They Saw Nelson Win The Shield
Without a doubt the vociferous support given Nelson by a big Nelson contingent at Greymouth inspired the Nelson Rugby team to play as it did and win the Seddon Shield, Dozens of car-loads of supporters travelled to Greymouth and all will have agreed that their journey was well worth it.
Stan Whitehead must have known something when he reached for the trophy before the game, and evidently Mrs Whitehead, daughter Carol, and Harry Caldwell knew something too.
The Irish were there: Pat McBride, Joe Riordan, Joe McNamara and Hori Coughlan
Plenty of ribbons among Gus Mechen, Dennis Coughlan, Ruth Coughlan and Margaret and Peter Simson
These boys enjoyed themselves: Kelvin Miller, Jim Riach, Neil Cameron, Eric Taylor, and Gavin Miller
