Many thanks to Greg Groombridge from Merewether Advance Football Club for sending this image of the MAFC1905 3rd team. The photo was supplied to him by Ian Nunan whose grandfather is the Greg Ritchie in the photograph. It's tattered but has lots of character. Some of the names are given below. D Williams and J Powell are listed on the Honour Roll.
