Extraordinary then isn't it that the NTFA Best & Fairest (Hec Smith Medal) was won by John Davis, Longford's centreman,
and that the Northern Football Record Trophy was won by Paul Vinar, Longford's captain-coach !

where did Alby Dunn finish in the record trophy ?
My god...1970 must be the only season ever where East beat North 4 times...can recall many a horrible winter's day at York Park growing up watching the inevitable slaughter...
Found some old ladders I scribbled down a few decades ago. East beat North twice in the finals in 1967, so they might have scored at least two wins in the roster season. Pretty hard to imagine 1970 not being the only clean sweep though...I know we were lurking around in the bottom of the finals pack when we found a purple patch and won the 1967 flag, and I'm not sure what happened in 1969, but that's pretty much all she ever wrote...North, however, were historically the least successful of the 3 city teams coming into 1948 when the NTFA expanded to 6 teams and then went on to dominate forever afterwards...
