page 1 page 2->
Throw up and Early Ba shots:
Ba was thrown up by Dan Grieve and won by Uppie Dave Flett at about 16:15

Most of the Ba' Committee outside the Cathedral	Dan Grieve, who won his Mens' Ba' Xmas 1952 in one of the shortest games ever, and the Boys' Ba' in Xmas 1936
Dan holds up the ba' just before 1pm	Waiting for the throw-up
John "Jock" Robertson addresses the crowd	Players eagerly awaiting the bell
A large pack of players amassed on Broad Street	Dan did a near-perfect throw and Magnus captured it well - inspite of the dark day and 1/30th second exposure
The ba' enters the scrum	Immediately the scrum hit the Kirk Green wall
Senior players advise the pack from above	One young lady was quoted as saying "I just come to admire all the lovely bums"
There was much good action on Broad Street	Fetched up at the entrance to St Magnus Lane
Once again against the Kirk Green wall	Uppie pressure soon resulted in a break
However the Doonies pushed the scrum back against the wall	More advice from above
