Eastern Subs to wear their 1969 cup-winning strip v Waitemata City. Might photograph and post it here. Bring tears to Leggy's eyes.

White shirts, white socks, chocolate brown shorts.

From the programme - Paul Rennell, 1968/69 skipper -

"... the 1969 final against New Brighton was the toughest (of the '65, 68 & 69 final wins) as we were carrying so many injuries - John Staines (hamstring), Phil Rainer and John Kroon (knees), Billy de Graaf, John Wrathall, Ray Mears (ankles). Thankfully they all made the team with the exception of player coach Tom McNab, who damaged his knee the Saturday before and never played again."
