Front row, L-R: Frank Mockford, Yvonne King (daughter), Elsie King (landlady), Harry King (landlord), Eileen Roe?, 'Nobby Clark Senior', ?

Presumably, the 'Yvonne Cup' was named after the landord's daughter Yvonne, but does anyone recall what the cup was awarded for? - Andy, Editor.

A blast from the past indeed seeing this photo which showed three members of my family, my Dad Ted Naylor, Uncle Bill Naylor and John Novis, as an "Eastsider" remembered so many others in the photo, happy days.
