Great ball from Greg Pierce to Rick Bourke. Pierce was so much more than a tacking machine. Wonderful player who doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

I remember the 78 final much better. It was heartbreaking to lose that game!!

[Richard Noel Hedditch]

Referee was Keith Page ? It was Keith page in 1972. But I thought it was Keith Holman by 1973. So much for my friggin' memory.
