    Presumably the ‘Willaston Donnybrook Dominic Lagana’ who won the Wally Linke and Mail Medal has got to be the same one I played alongside in the Salisbury u9s in 1978? Had a very unconventional kicking style then, did he retain it and is that why his win was a surprise?

    Hi Mark

    Didn’t know where Dominic came from – bit sounds like the same bloke

    My understanding was he was a real smokie at best?

    Cheers
