Season 10 1942/43

Managed by John High & captained by Jimmy Jackson , we were hampered by the call up of our players to the forces.
The season started with Gordon Box netting seven of our eleven goals v Napier Athletic in the opening game. Other convincing wins v Handley Page, 6-2 and v RAF (N) 8-0 soon followed. After a good start a run of almost three months without a win ended hopes of any success.
