Wow two National Champion teams from Hunsley, I am very proud as an ex pupil. Of course the groundwork was made many many years ago
Yep, I like to think I made an impact...wow, 19 years ago now. Back when we had to do PE in heavy duty blue reversible rugby tops.
Groundwork? did they ever get the pitches levelled up? I remember playing rugby there and the pitch was a fair old slope.
That's odd as I was there until 1980 and pretty much all football, cricket and RL was played across the road by the side of the school (dead-end at the bottom now I believe) with the copse in the middle and the disabled school in the far top corner? the pitches down the bottom were pretty flat but there were one or two with a bit of slope going up away from the A63. I think Balkan may be referring to across the road?
Yes that's what I meant. I thought he meant the grass along the front of the Kingston/Tech Block buildings parallel with the A63.
By across the road I don't mean the A63, I'm talking about the side road on the west side of the school, there were many pitches across there when I was there until 1980, the ground between the school buildings and A63 was just a general playing field.
Big shoes to fill, academy lads over recent years have been coming through physically ready from a young age. Hope it continues into the new era
Jon Beale is finally back in football, I have never found out why he left us, all seem to happen quickly. Does anyone have any ideas?
