Body:
I notice a couple more terrific old photos of Yarraville games. The 1979 game v Williamstown, looks like Mark Fotheringham for Yarraville in the goal square, and i think no. 24 for Williamstown might be Geoff Bebend. Looks a decent crowd.
Going into the game both teams were 6 wins and 3 losses. Willy were 6th and Yarraville 5th.
Williamstown 5.5: 11.9; 16.17; 27.22:184
Yarraville 4.4; 8.9; 9.11; 9.11:65
Goals: Willy: John 6, L.Taylor 5, McVeigh 5, Tweedley 4
Y'ville: M Fotheringham 3, Wellington 2, MaGee 2,
Best: Willy: M Taylor, A Philpott, Kerr, Kennedy, Gannon, Enright, Sheehan, L Taylor

L Taylor for Williamstown is Laurie Taylor who suffered a knee injury in 1984 but made a comeback and played in the 1988 1st div grand final against Coburg.
