Flashback - Trent Johnston inspires the Bears to a First Grade Minor Premiership
In 1998/99, the Bears won the First Grade Minor Premiership and were named Sydney Morning Herald First Grade Team of the Year, both for the second successive season. Agonisingly, they were defeated in the semi final by Randwick, but the team was one for the ages - in particular featuring Trent Johnston in the year he made his NSW debut, as well as Stuart MacGill.
Here we reproduce the report from skipper, Phil Marks, from the club's 1999 Annual Report.
