BRAVE BYSTANDERS

Congratula­tions to Tom Darke and another unnamed person who acted selflessly to preserve the life of a driver whose vehicle plunged into Constituti­on Dock, Hobart. Tom, a former Swansea FC player, with a determined never-say-die attitude and gregarious nature, continues to participat­e in another game, the game of life. Felicitati­ons to Tom and his fellow journeyman for their collective act of kindness and courage.
