Australian Schoolboys UK Tour - Newsletters, Match Reports and Photos
News of the Australian Schoolboys trip to the UK has special meaning for the Harlequins since Angus Hamilton and Jack DeGuingand are representing Australia (and the Quins). Match reports and some of the newsletters have been sent back together with a large number of photos taken by Carl Peterson, father of the 6' 9" lock from Sydney who was unfortunately injured and returned to Australia before the end of the trip. Carl returned with him so the quantum of photos dried up for the later matches.
The newsletters are well worth a read and in newsletter five you will see that Angus Hamilton won the Merv and Iris Allen Award for the best Team Man for the tour. Well done Angus.
The photos of the match against the England U18's are from a professional photo site in the UK. Frankly they are pretty poor and the site is more interested in selling the photos than displaying them sensibly. You have been warned!
Match reports, newsletters and photos of the tour are attached and make very interesting reading. Unfortunately we are missing newsletters 1 and 3 so if anyone has a copy please send them to webmaster@quins.com.au.
