NEW COACH
At the beginning of the year the club appointed Dave Hall as senior
coach, an association that was to eventually take the club into
Northern League 1st Division. Dave had had a playing stint for Cameron
before coming to Narra for half a season and then moving back into
Hamilton.
In 1976 and 1977 Dave held the position of NZFA Coach in the
Waikato and it was on the field of play in 1974 that Dave first had a
meeting of the bodies when he and George Sunnex met in a
crunching tackle that left Dave stretched out in the United v
Cameron fixture.
NORTHERN SOUTH
This was the year the Northern 4th Division was split into North
and South with Narra playing in the Waikato-Bay of Plenty / Taupo region
(South).
