Murray Connor coach of the winning 1992 team provided some reflections relevant for us all.  "Leon and Richard Munt are the reason this team came into existence. Both were very good hockey players, both played for Canterbury when the Canterbury consisted of almost all NZ players.  When the Redcliff’s club came out of recess & was not in the premier grade both Leon & Richard played in 1st grade.
