Today we Battle with Newbridge. We have playing Member of our 1955 Premiership side invited to rekindle memories of 60 years ago. Prior to the senior game we are fortunate to have 9 members of the team here today, these being - Ivan Younghusband, Kevin Poyser, Colin Chamberlain,Stuart Rothacker,Neil Collins, Tom Lucas, Graeme Bishop,and Colin McAlice (later to Captain Sth Bendigo). During the 1955 season, Bridgewater were defeated once, going on to play Inglewood in the 2nd Semi Final 15.16 to 5.6 and the Grand Final at Newbridge 14.14 to 11.4. The team was coached by Eaglehawk defender, Brian Harvey who was a twice Premiership player and Best and Fairest there. Today we also remember the team members and mates that are not with us today.
