| PM | April 5 | "The young Tiger 4th XVII showed that they would again be a force to be reckoned with." Richmond News | Victorian Schoolboys representatives, Brian Morrison ruck; Bill Sharp centre; Ron O'Brien rover - were outstanding. Brian Kestle, with brilliant marking and kicking, showed he will be a much improved player this season.. Fourteen-year-old 6ft giant, Robert Gill showed great promise - a player to be remembered. | Others who stood out were McLaren, roving; Hart, full forward; Hayward, half-forward; Garry Sharp, ruck and Taylor, half-back. | ||||||
| April 19 | L4 | 7.17 59 | South Melbourne 4ths 9.9 63 | Best: Bill Sharp, Graeme Dwyer, O'Brien, Morrison, Hart, Duncan, Saddington, Harley | The Fourth XVIII lost through shocking kicking for goal. South led 4.2 to 0.1 at quarter time and although the game was lost then, a pleasing feature was the fine Tiger spirit shown to fight back. | |||||
| April 26 | W2 | 7.11 53 | Northcote High School 7.9 51 | Best: John Jones, Brian Kestle, Andrey Kretsch, Brian Morrison, Roy Power, Ron O'Brien, Ernie Bersey | The Tigers fought back after being 17 points down at three-quarter time. Andrey Kretsch, back pocket, a Hungarian migrant, was in excellent form. Andrey, although a Hungarian, is a good player who could develop, as he is very strong and vigorous. | |||||
| May 17 | W8 | 7.8 50 | Richmond Scouts 5.12 42 | Goals: Moyle 2 | Best: John Devitt, Andrey Kretsch, Ian Hart, Graeme Dwyer, Bob Moyle | At quarter time the 4ths led 4.6 30 to nil but they became complacent. | ||||
