ON THIS DAY - 16th December

In 1961, D LANG (#138) made 108x as A grade defeated University in an all day game. All day games could be played by arrangement where sides might be unavailable for one of the weeks of a two day game. Different times, the early sixties, where teams would rather play a game rather than claim a forfeit.
