Just watching some highlights from this game, there was a Roosters player on the field who wore number 13 before Brass' first goal which was at around 11 minutes. I assume this is Ken Jones because Frier did not come onto the field until around the 65 minute mark. That then leaves the question of what number did Laurie Frier wear?

They do funny things at times. Sometimes they use a starting number, sometimes they use a reserve number & sometimes they pluck one from nowhere. I think sometimes players have a lucky number.

Thanks Ted interesting that O'Neill is listed in Big League in #11 & Lowe in #9 but O'Neill played in #9 when Lowe dropped out.

I have added a note to indicate that.

Thanks Ted I also only have a reference of Peter Winchester taking the field for Canterbury your probably right with Scahill & Rogers likely missing out there is no way to be sure that was the case hence by comment in the game notes I suspect Henry Tatana was replaced which is why Lowther had a shot at goal but can't be sure there is no reference to it.

Crowd: 1,200 from RLW
Goal Kicking: The same as listed except for Paul Dowling (WD) who kicked 1/3. The Central Western Daily dated 19-7-1974 says that "Dowling missed two comparatively easy attempts at goal".

Players: WD: I have confirmed through newspapers & the book the Day the Music Died that all those listed took the field.

CB: I have confirmed that all but Max Cole & Howard played. They probably played, but I cannot find any written confirmation. The reserves that were listed on the program for CB were 14. Graeme Hughes, 15. Ron Taylor, 16. Phil Charlton, 17. Dennis Scahill, 18. Don Rogers & 19. Peter Winchester. I have only found reference to Winchester. I would imagine that CB would have only put 1 back on the bench, so I would guess that Scahill & Rogers missed out.

The Canterbury annual report only lists the scores for this competition.

Thanks Ted, I assume you mean Graeme Hughes 1/1 goals?

Goal Kickers

ES: John Brass 3/6 (which you correctly have)
CB: Chris Anderson 0/2, Graeme Hughes 0/1

Player numbers:

ES: John Brass wore no. 3 & Harry Cameron no. 4.

CB: All numbers are correct, however Phil Charlton wore no. 11 in the 2nd half & Don Rogers wore no. 5 in the 2nd half which means in the last 10 minutes or so of the match, there were 2 number 11s playing for Canterbury, which commentator Alan Marks noted.
