The lad at the front with the mace looks like Frank Capstick looks like me 3rd middle! Think this was the day Frank decided to try and throw the mace over the Railway bridge on Warrington Rd some 25 ft and missed!!! if it still survives its got a big dent in it.!

TheGood old days this picture is more like 1957 Yes it is me with the Mace
