I wonder what happened to her? Where is she now?

Jimmy M, Kathleen is happily married and lives in the south of England, I believe she still visits Wigan, to see family and friends. Good photo Ron.

Good photo,Ron.
Brings back some good memories. I remember Kathleen coming to Ashton Grammar school in the late sixties after she had won the title. We had just finished a cricket match and went back to the changing room to get ready to go home. All of a sudden the teacher came in asking for a few of us to back on to the pitch to have our pictures taken with Kathleen, as a sort of press release.
You should have seen us go. I was in so much of a hurry I burst my zip in trying to get my trousers back on.
I actually made it onto the photos pulling my sweater down to cover up my embarrassment.
I think I played at "fly slip" after that!!
