Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 16 May, 1959. "All wrestling photographs seem to have one thing in common: giant chest expansions. But who, it can well be asked, is able to tell whether there are any Pat O'Connors among this healthy-looking bunch of wrestlers. Members of the team from the Kiwi Sports Club which met the Titahi Bay representives in the city recently are from left): Back row, B Eckersley, P. Collins (assistant-trainer), R. Mudgway (trainer), J. Rope; centre row, B. Buckler, J. Harris, P. Lister, T. Filer, G. Rope, B. Mudgway, D. Lane; front row, B. Lane, B. Filer, G. Buckler, S. Harris and C. Buckler."
