While this was a historical meeting for both clubs, it was overshadowed
by a spectacular effort of goalkicking in the 1st XVIII
… ‘in defeating Kooyong FC, St Bernards full forward Paul
McManus kicked 14 goals for the match.
Old Haileybury squared up the ledger later on in the season when they
accounted for St Bernards by 6 goals …
The scoreline was most interesting
St Bernards : 1 : 11 : 17 defeated by
Haileybury : 7 : 11 : 53
Round 2 - 1965
It was not until 2 years later, 1965, were we to meet Old Haileyburians
at 1st XVIII level
Match summary
A much better performance this week – Bernard’s – two good wins
over Old Haileybury and the ‘Social 3rds’ also over Old
Scotch. This is the type of team play that brings results
and we are only warming up so keep the pressure on!

St Bernards easily accounted for Old Haileybury in their 2nd
encounter … a few other legends’ names
appeared…
Collins – David Collins had already become the college student selected
to represent St Bernards at 1st XVIII level in season 1964 –
present day players with that distinction are Chris Mitchell (1999) and
Andrew Maggiore (2000)
Perrett – Michael Perrett who in earlier round had become the first
senior player at St Bernards to reach 50 games. Records show Michael
completed the the same feat in 100 / 150 / 200games
Reidy, Hancox, are a few others and with Taylor – John Taylor who holds
the distinct club recored of being the first player to be suspended.
Reserves also had a few names well remembered – Denahy, Buckley,
Sanders, Griffiths – Geoff Griffiths who we hope will be able to return
to the club as part of our Veterans Challenge Match.
