Quite an achievement considering just three short years ago somebody in the Campbelltown area said let us start an Aussie Rules team, today three prospective pre- mierships. · Of course this has not been achieved without a lot of hard work by the committee who when they started developed a plan to start a Junior competition and introduced the game into the schools and so on and as it progressed so did Campbelltown. They now have a viable junior competition and the game is played in 8 schools at present with 12 estimated for next year and 1978 three grand finalists quite an achievement in such a short time. Congratulations Campbelltown. Nevertheless the going won't be easy Uni of NSW are a formidable combination as well as being a consistant performer in these finals as their record shows, two grand finals and one runner up over the last three years, another good effort, and to predict the winners would be purely guess work as the differences between both teams is very small, so whoever gets the breaks early will take out this year's grand final. Ma~ the best team Win.
