There may have been a war going on in the 1940s, but it didn't stop youngsters at Hillside School enjoying a good game of football.

Here is a photograph of the Hillside Avenue school's team from the 1942/3 season, kindly supplied by Peter Parkins, who is pictured on the far right in the bottom row.

The team was as follows: (back row, from left) T Asherwood, R Levin, J Baker, (middle, from left) J Pithers, E Evans, D Rudd, (front, from left) W Paine, G Kirsop, P Hancock, C Dove, P Parkins.
