Looking at the video clip and hearing the comments from Dean and colleagues it now seems far more positive than before. I agree that Colliers Park needs a lot of work, and hopefully we'll get it back one day, but if we can get the coaching right nine acre is a very good place to prepare for a promotion challenge.

I can recall playing for Hawarden Grammar school against Grove Park as well.
Can't recall the year or the age group as I wasn't one of the regular team.
I think we got stuffed. Would be around 1963 - 65.
