Association At a time when a think tank has been set up to review the structure of the Junior game, we couldn't have wished for a better tournament than the way in which this season's O.V.D.

Mr R Orr However, that is for the 'Think Tank ' to mull over and in the futur e .. For the moment all attention is focused on what will always be the Vice President : highlight of the Junior season - The O.V.D. C1,1p.

Having seen both sides, however , I am more than certain that the Mr J P Black pair will do the occasion justice as both sides put the accent on skill . Asst Secretary : We need only go back twelve months to last year's final to remind ourselves ofthe style in which Camelon won the trophy for the first Mr TA Johnson time in their history .
