* In 1964 two stalwarts of Novos rugby met in unusual circumstances. "Mr. Colin Marfitt-Smith who is teaching in Jamaica has been appointed Vice-Captain of the Jamaican XV. In a recent match with the Bahamas XV he found himself playing against John Lively, an old school friend." Both Colin and John had been members of the same school XV in 1959. (From the school magazine, Novo 1965)
