1960-61

The fifth premiership was in 1960-61 against St Kilda; an outright win under the captaincy of Jack Potter. St Kilda collapsed for 137 to Illingworth (4/40) and Ray Harvey (4/32). An opening partnership of 151 by Ron Furlong (88) and David Anderson (71) got Fitzroy off to a great start, but wickets fell before some late hitting from Eddie Illingworth took the score to 280. St Kilda’s 2nd innings of 212 (E Illingworth 3/61, C Adams 4/46, R Harvey 3/54) left Fitzroy to make 70 for outright victory, which it achieved with no loss of wickets.
