The Third Team

The situation here is sometimes embarrassing with five or six more players every week than can be accommodated. This is an encouraging sign as in previous seasons both the Second and the Third XI's seldom fielded a full team.

Jim Denton captains the side in an efficient manner and he has improved his own play substantially. So has Alan Quinn who has speed, tenacity and tackling ability. Paul Compton plays a cool game at full back though his tendency of dribbling out of trouble often [unclear: lands] his team in difficulties. He must learn to clear "first time" when in danger. Eastgate and Lienert are two players who should go a lot further if they paid more attention to correct kicking methods. The former does not use his exceptional speed to advantage. Alan Holland at centre forward would do well to realise that it is useless to try to execute too many fancy moves before a reasonable mastery of the basic Soccer skills has been acquired.
