South Call Up Brothers

Two brothers from Purley Lacrosse Club are included in the 13 strong Under 16 squad representing the South against the North at Orpington Sports Club tomorrow (Saturday, 1:30).

Andrew Slaughter, who attends Trinity School and reached his 16th birthday last week, plays a midfield role and David, at Riddlesdown High School and a year younger, is in attack.

They started playing lacrosse when their club decided to start a junior team as a source of talent for the three senior sides they field regularly each week.

Purley, whose home ground is at Addiscombe Cricket Club, also have Ken Mingard, the reserve goalkeeper, and Colin Atkinson, first reserve defenceman, in the squad.
