The players from the winning team in attendance were:- Chris Ades, David Ades, Jack Brown, Bryan Butler, Bill Burt, Mike Hills and captain George Potter. Norman Hickman, who played in three of the rounds leading up to the final including scoring the winning goal from 25 yards in the 3-2 victory over Drive United in the 6th round, was also present. Of the four remaining players, Jim Brunger and George Noakes have sadly passed away, Colin Relf was on holiday and Derek Perkins could not be tracked down.
