What else would you expect from an Eagles fan!

[Romford Bombers]

Bomber

 

Looking through some of my old programs I came accross Eastbourne Eagles V Romford Bombers 5th October 1969. I can still remember this match pretty well as the Eagles lost 36 - 42, and I was a ten year old who didn't take losing very well. Des Luckhurst scored a 12 point maximum with Ross Gilbertson scoring 11, he dropped his only point in heat 4 to Reg Trott.

 

I also came accross a couple of 4 team tournement programs with Romford included (1970 & 1971).

 

If you're interested in a copy I can scan them for you.

[End of season fun]

The fun and frolics wasn't always reserved for the end of seasson only. I can remember a donkey race round Arlington, must have been 1969 or 1970, between Dave Lanning & Johnie Hoskins. Can't remember who won!
