In Warwick, Richard and Lionel played Rugby Union for the Junior Boomerangs. The Junior Boomerangs won the competition 3 years in a row but in the 1911-1912 season they were undefeated. Note in the photo below that X marks the spot. Someone in the past has made sure that we know which one is the Laws family member.

The next photo is the team in 1913 and this includes Lionel as well and the caption "Premiers in 1911, 1912 and 1913".
In 1917 Fred was the Captain and Colin , a member, of the Allora State School Soccer team that won the premiership. Now you are going to ask me what other teams were in the competition, aren't you? Well, I don't know. I found in Trove that they played in Clifton and drew nil all with the Clifton Convent.
