Back in B Section after only one year’s absence. Did we mention a yo-yo? Old Trinity were B Section premiers in 1994 - so, back up to A Section in 1995.
But it wasn’t all plain sailing. At the halfway mark, the Firsts were 6th with 5 wins and 4 losses. The Reserves were 5th also 5-4. The Firsts got motoring in the second half of the season and lost only one more game to end up in second place with 13-5. The Reserves finished 5th with 11-7, just missing the final four on percentage.
In the second semi-final we did our best to kick ourselves out of the grand final but ended up “falling in” by three points.
