This team photograph from 1958 may be of interest to readers. It is of the football team that won the McEwan Cup for St Philomena’s Boys Club in that year.
St Philomena’s is now the Sacred Heart, of course. The team played in the Middlesbrough and District Youth League and one of the cups that they competed for when I was a member of the team was the McEwan Cup. We won it in a replay. The first game ended 1-1 but we won the replay 3-0.
Team from left to right, back row, standing: Tom Bryan (Youth Club Leader), Michael Coleman, George Rawden, Jim Watters, Jim Cunningham, Denis O’Leary, Carl Carvello.
Front row: Lawrence Wilson, George Grainger, Jimmy Towers, John Jones, Dickie Devlin.
Scorers: O’Leary, Rawden and Towers.
