Ex-Wath Boy Helps Tonight To Take On the Best Of Europe

Jeux Sans Frontieres” fans at 84,Burman Road, Wath, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Hobson, will be ‘looking in’ on Berlin with special excitement to-night when Yarmouth’s “It’s a Knock-Out” team takes on all the best Europe can offer in the last Eurovision round before the final.

Their grandson, Mr. Peter Kelsey. is a member of the team of 25 (15 men and 10 girls).

Peter is the younger son of Mrs. Ron Kelsey, who until just over a year ago lived in Campsall Fields Road. Mr. Kelsey, formerly a cutter at Wath Main Colliery, and his wife moved to Yarmouth to take a boarding house.

Peter, who attended the Park Road Annexe of Wath Grammar School, and his brother, Roy, who was formerly with Palframan’s, butchers, of Wath, are now both employed by Yarmouth Corporation.

Peter left with the team for Berlin on Sunday. They are staying at the Hilton Hotel.

In training for the past two months, they qualified for the round by winning a “highest losers” play-off at Ramsgate after having lost to Lowestoft — the current leaders among the Great Britain contenders after a fine performance at Cardiff. Yarmouth’s aim tonight will be to better this performance to earn a place in the Euro-vision final in’ Verona on September 18th.
