Australian Football

Chook Adams was an extremely useful forward who achieved distinction in two states. He played with NTFA side North Launceston from 1925 to 1928 before spending the 1929 season with North Shore in Sydney. Whilst with North Launceston he enjoyed a stellar 1927 season, representing Tasmania at that year’s Melbourne carnival, playing in the club’s local and state premiership-winning teams, and topping the competition’s goal kicking list with 68 goals. While with North Shore he was sufficiently impressive to achieve selection for New South Wales on five occasions, during which he recorded the highly creditable tally of 21 goals.
