A photograph of St Mary’s Boys Primary School Football Team with the Geraghty Cup which they won in 1936. The trophy is the Geraghty Cup, a competition open to Catholic primary schools within the district. My uncle Harold Noble is holding the trophy. The teacher in the middle is Harry Tompkinson, he later became the Headmaster (I think his grandson is the actor Stephen Tompkinson).

That is right, Stephen Tompkinson is the g/son of Harry. Harry lived in Victoria Avenue. He bred Dovetail pigeons and guinea pigs. Breading new colours into them. It is said that during the WW11 he had a pig in the back garden.
Dovetail pigeons should read fantail pigeons. Their heads leaning right across their backs.and the big chest.
