Girls’ Hockey Team, c. 1921

This is believed to be a photo of the Stockton Secondary School girls’ hockey team, probably taken sometime between 1920 and 1922. We think that the girl on the far right might be the photo owner’s great aunt, Ivy Eileen Bainbridge.

Perhaps someone else has a copy of this picture and can date it more precisely, or identify some of the people in it?

‘Bennie Brown a disappointed man after 11 goals’

An article from 9 September 1965 reporting on Bennie Brown’s record of 11 goals scored against Krugersdorp in South Africa’s N.F.L. Division III.

“I actually scored 11 goals three times in my career, the other time being for the Royal Engineers team which I played for during my National Service”.

This record of the highest individual goal tally in a competitive South African league game still stands after 60 years.
