Can you help with the missing names? Julie Riddiough suggests: “I thought it might be Laurie Riddiough; he died in an accident at Skinningrove Tarmac works in 1927.” Whilst Andrea Richardson asks: “Is there any way to find out which teams won this cup in previous years please? I have a photograph of a team with a cup that looks very similar but maybe from the 1920s?” Colin Hart has provided an update which may assist with: “Skinningrove Juniors were beaten in the North Riding Junior Cup final in 1921 then as Skinningrove Primitive Methodist Juniors went on to win the cup for five consecutive seasons.“ Image courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection and others, thanks to David Sanderson, John Roberts, Julie Riddiough, Andrea Richardson and Colin Hart for the updates.  A lovely photograph of a different football team, we don’t have many of the names perhaps you can fill in the blanks.

Bullimoor, ??, ??, Jack Woodrow, Bernard Hamilton, seated at the front Mickey Smith. Colin Hart now tells us: ”Jack Woodrow was born in 1910 so date could be mid to late 1920′s and it looks like the front of Timms Coffee House”. He also advises: “The trophy on the left is the same one as on the Carlin How Rovers photograph and if you notice, 2 name shields on the Carlin How photograph and 3 name shields on the Skinningrove photograph, so must be two consecutive years.” Keith Harding added: “Back row, first left is definitely Jonty Smith.” Image courtesy of Alan Pearson and thanks to Colin Hart and Keith Harding for the updates.  This image from a printed postcard the Archive believe dates from the 1920’s (the only information on the reverse was ‘Juniors Football’); the Archive doesn’t know which year or any information about the teams. |
