Freddy's ok, but still mending up a bit I think .. We played against his (former) team last night which consists of Russell Ebert, Graham Howell, Wayne Weidemann and Chook Barrett.

Those old buggers are bloody good too and gave us yet another lesson, all good blokes though.

This is in night owls lawn bowls I assume? So has Freddy been ill? He'd be getting on a bit - probably 68 minimum I reckon

I was interested to read in today's Sunday Mail that former Norwood player Jim Michalanney is now the principal at one of my old schools, Ceduna Area School.

He was a good footballer as you say, which is sometimes forgotten, and was (and is) extremely popular at the club.
