Distric Rovers football team which played in the Warrington Sunday league was made up of players from Highfield and A.P.B.who were great rivals on a Saturday,but were teamates on a Sunday. I came across this old press cutting, please name the other lads not mentioned in the article.

I remember you playing Mark and as you said we did have a few battles.With regards to the Sunday team lads use to drift in and out, the team was usually picked on a Saturday night in the Casino, as to who was still fit after the Saturday games.Happy days.....Dick
