In a “strike-shortened” season which saw the team go 4-2-1 in seven games, the Pennsbury game is cancelled. It represents the only year the next door neighbors have not played as “Neshaminy versus Pennsbury” from 1950 through the present. Because that year of 1980 was also to be played in Fairless Hills, the next year of ’81 was a make-up for Pennsbury which remained as the home team in Fairless Hills. Thus, the “odd-year home, even-year away” series with the Falcons is flipped around and it remains so to this day. And on a “growth” note, the district’s population has finally begun to “slow down” as it adds only 5,000 residents during the ’70s to around 60,000 overall. Considering the expansion from 10,000 people in 1950 to 55,000 in 1970, the addition of the latest decade is hardly noticed.
