THE 1975 SEASON:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The improved form of the 1974<\/a> <\/strong>season continued into 1975 when a 50% win\/loss ratio was achieved and for the \ufb01rst time since 1956 Buller showed a credit balance on the points scored as against points conceded.<\/p>\n

The Representative team was based on the strong Ngakawau club side, with that club providing nine players for Buller who made a total of 59 appearances for Buller this season, as many as all other clubs put together.<\/p>\n

One of the strongest aspects of this team was its defence. For the only time in Buller\u2019s history, three opponents during the season were kept scoreless.<\/p>\n

There were no international tourists this season but Graeme Mourie\u2019s New Zealand Juniors visited Buller with a team which included many future All Blacks.<\/p>\n

No Buller players were awarded higher honours but the team had good reason to rate 1975 as a very satisfactory season.<\/p>\n
