Once again, thanks go out to the Club Secretaries who volunteered the use of their club premises to stage the various Finals, Doug Baker, CADWA, Jim Geddes, BOOTLE YMCA, Tom Purcell, MERSEYSIDE POLICE, who allowed the Police club to be used for two of our Finals, and Ron Georgeson, Bath Street, for the use of their excellent new premises at Marine F.C. in Crosby, and to those who also provided the after match refreshments, in the case of the Frank Murphy Trophy Final, once again these refreshments were provided by Frank's widow Marjorie, helped by Sue & Dave Berry. Also thanks to members of the Management Committee who carried out the functions of Match Official to see that each Final ran smoothly. Mike Power, Arthur Garnett, Graham Rollinson, Ray Lavin and yours truly.
