Soccer

Ram Vilash, right half or right back. Age 23. Has played consistently well throughout the season. Ram is a little short for a full-back, but is a most determined tackier. At half is a sound defender and constructive on attack. Heads well and has a good knowledge of tactics. First tournament.

John Tannahill, inside left or left half. Age 18. Not a great deal has been seen of John, but he seems a sturdy player who should not be upset by the grind of tournament First appearance.

Robin Bain, left wing or left half. Has shown to better effect on the wing than at half. Very fit and enthusiastic but requires more experience. Could profitably learn to head the ball. Playing in first tournament

Dick Holland, centre forward. Age 19. Tall player who can shoot well with either foot, has first-class ball control and heads well. Dick has not shown the improvement expected this year.

Trevor Lienert, inside right Age 21. Trevor is a useful forward who is fast and keen. If he can curb a tendency to crowd his fellow-forwards and to keep his shots low should do well at his first tournament.

Ron Pemberton, half back or inside forward. Ago 20. Ron has been unfortunate in suffering injuries this season and this has hampered his progress. A sound and constructive player, he has usually looked capable and if he is fully fit may be expected to do well. Could profitably try to develop crisper passing and harder shooting. First tournament

Jim Denton, half back or inside forward. Age 24. Probably better at half than in the forward line. Has shown better form this season than previously and should perform reasonably well. Represented VUC in 1963.

Chris Louis, inside forward. Age 24. A keen player who showed a sudden improvement this season when he seemed fitter and faster than in earlier games and also displayed a new asset that of heading the ball. Chris still needs to improve his passing and shooting, but is a hard worker and may be expected to toil honestly. Represented VUC in 1955.

Annand Gopalan, goalkeeper. This season has been a lean one for Ann and, who gives of his best when the cards are stacked against him. Second tournament

Brian Hudson, left back. Brian is a keen full-back who defends and tackles well and turns in a good game. First tournament

Stan George, half or back. Stan is a versatile player who has shown good form this season and should do well in the rigours of tournament. Third tournament.

Perumal Naidu, wing or inside. Porumal is a speedy and clever footballer who always uses his football brains to advantage. Deadly accurate with either foot Second tournament

Nick Greenwood, wing or inside. Nick is a well-built, lively player with a good shot and a quick brain. First tournament.
