From the match programme:-
"NOTES"
"The Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for the year ended 30th April, 1972 have been circulated to members. We have carried an overdraft for the best part of fifty years, but this latest report shows that we are out of the 'red,' and actually showed a profit."
"Last Saturday we suffered our fourth successive defeat, and our points 'for' are less than the points 'against.' We are confident that we can strike a winning vein before this month is out. Unfortunately we still have a long injury list, with Del Haines the latest casualty. He has to undergo a cartilage operation which could be a long job. John Jeffery is now out of plaster, but it will take quite some time for him to get the strength back into his leg."
"We welcome Abertillery here tonight. Last Friday at Abertillery Park they defeated Pontypool, 15pts to 9pts. Last season we won on this ground, 29pts to 9pts, but later when we went up the Western Valley we lost 12pts to 28pts."
"Their skipper this season is Bob Harris, a speedy and enthusiastic centre threequarter. They have pace on the wings and mobility in their pack which includes two seasoned campaigners in Ian Brice and Ray Gladwyn."
"Next Saturday we are away to Swansea. The Supporters' Club are running a coach to St. Helens, particulars can be obtained from underneath the score-box."
"A week tonight we entertain Newbridge, kick-off 7.15 p.m."
