Three players from this team were selected in the Brisbane Representative Team that played Ipswich at Ipswich and the Queensland University’s Touring Team at St. Lucia. They were Henry Drake (Captain), Lindsay Collins and Terry Mallon. In girls’ hockey, team captain, Lyn Dellit, was chosen in the Brisbane Schoolgirls “A” team to play in the Queensland Secondary Schoolgirls’ Hockey Carnival at Rockhampton.
