ARTICLE BY PERMISSION OF TONY LEWIS......
(thanks Tony)
PRATTEN PARK REUNION 2003.
Four great West's men from the past were presented with special
Pratten Park Magpies blazers for their services to West's and
the Pratten Park Magpies. All four are West's men through and
through. These 4 men have given great service to West's both
on and off the field.
Don Graham played for West's in the 1950's. He was also
was the first director to be voted on to the committee of the
Leagues Club in 1955.
Bill Keato played for West's between 1938 and 1950, he
played 124 first grade games and scored 772 points along the
way.Bill was also treasurer from 1951 until 1974.
Ron Watson played at West's from 1950 until 1956. He
was a tough forward who played in West's last premiership winning
team in 1952. Ron coached West's in 1970 the year after Noel
Kelly left West's .
Noel Kelly what can I say. My pick for the greatest player
to pull on the Black and White jumper. Noel played 114 games
between 1961 and 1969 and scored 6 tries not bad for a frontrower.
He was the first hooker / prop forward to make 3 Kangaroo Tours.
Noel of course coached West's between 1966 and 1969.
