SPORTS TEAM PHOTOGRAPHS

I am keen to obtain as many Sports Team Photographs (with Communications Branch content) as is possible for publication on this site. If you have any photos hidden away in your archives or albums  please advise me and I will provide my mailing address if required so that you can send them to me for publication on this page. If you are able to scan them and send them as an email attachment, all the better.
Please follow the links below for team photographs:

I have attached the photo of the 63 combined Aussie Rules side. In the back row third from right is Bill Fiora and myself next to him. On the Middle row on the right hand side is Paul Feltham, brother of Terry, Paul went on to play in a North Melbourne Premiership side. Fourth from the right is Wayne Batchelor, Batch was one of the best footballers that I encountered whilst in the Navy and in a lot of peoples opinion he could have played VFL (now AFL). He played with Royce Hart in the Clarence under Nineteens and was considered to be on a par with Hart. I think the good life got the best of Batch. You might be able to identify some of the other guys in the team, I was only 17 then and my memory has dimmed a fair bit from that time. Father Mac was a great guy, I heard that he was killed in a car accident. Cheers Barry Appleby

Navy Aussie Rules Team 1971 There are three communicators on the Aussie Rules team that I can remember, myself, Rod Jacobs (Signalman) and Bill Fiora (Sparker). I spent time with Bill later on in my time in the navy and believe he is now in WA. Do not know anymore about Rod or what became of him. There could have been more communicators in that side but not aware of it. The coach was a Roman Catholic Priest, Father McDonald. We trained at Albatross for a week and then on to Sydney and played the RAAF and Army at a ground called Trumper Park. Cheers Barry Appleby

Coonawarra Cheer Squad 1981 Sheena Connelly provided this photo and says: It was taken during the Mons Cup at HMAS Nirimba in 1981. We were posted to Coonawarra at the time and flew down with our Mons Cup team to act as their cheer squad. We were the only cheer squad there (and the only females for miles) and had a fantastic 2 weeks. We only had to cheer for one match from memory as Coonawarra got knocked out early. The names are: Back Row L to R: (Self) Sheena Connelly, Cheryl Watson, Kerry Sutton Kneeling L to R: Debbie Taylor & Wendy Thompson I was a SWR Beagle at the time (later changed over to EWP- plus a variety of other branch titles). The rest of the girls were all comms.
