Old BRL Awards

[XXXX Cap]

Came across a long forgotten memento recently - the ES & A Bank BRL Football Ladder and Fixtures card for 1970.

It has slots to move the teams names up and down the ladder during the season (I had Wynnum glued into the 8th position in 1970 ).

It also had a stack of details - the games at all levels for 1970, 1969 Final results with crowds and gate takings and a full list of award winners for 1969. The names of some awards had long slipped from memory :

Best and Fairest - First Grade GF - "Dick McCann Show Trophy"
Most Improved Player - "J Stafford Trophy"
Most Points Scored - "National Bank of Australia Central Branch Trophy"
Leading Try Scorer - "J Johnstone Trophy"
Leading Goal Kicker - "Robinsons Sports Store Trophy"
Most Servicable Player in First Grade GF - "Radio 4KQ Trophy"
Best Tackling Performance in First Grade GF - "McDonnell & East Trophy"
Best and Fairest - Reserve Grade GF - "Tip Top Bakeries Trophy"
Best and Fairest - Third Grade GF - "John Bonney Trophy"
Best Tackling Performance in Third Grade GF - "Dick McCann Trophy"

Come on Mud, tell me who won them all !! ;-) ;-)
