Leading Players Pre 1942

 
There is still much research to be done before this particular section of the Club's records will be
anywhere near complete, but considerable progress was made during 1996 combing through the old
Fremantle based newspapers. The periods between 1918-1922 and 1925-28 are a blank at this stage
because the scores didn't get put into the papers. This is particularly annoying as Spartans second
FCA Premiership was won in 1925-26 and it is fairly certain that there some outstanding performances
in that year. The premiership win was established as the club historian sighted the premiership 
medallions presented to Roy Thomson and Clarrie Saggers. The runs scored, wickets taken and
catches completed by individuals have been included in the major records and will be added to as
hopefully more information is uncovered. This section concerning the leading performances will be
added to the main statistical records when it as complete as we can get it.
