MEECHING JUNIOR SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM
First Team 1952/53 Season
By John Hills
I've got most of these chaps - Back row:- Geoff Parsons, Mr Parker (teacher), Johnny Delacourt, Maurice Dunstall, Les Templeman, Michael Mahon, I think Dave Smith? Front row:- Malcolm Jones, Keith Denyer, Dennis Hill, Dave Winder, Mike Britchfield. The newspaper reports are from the same season. Although we played down the Westside Rec for games lessons I can’t remember ever playing a match at home. Apart from two games reported in the Sussex Express I can remember playing at Buxted, in a cow field, and missing an absolute sitter by blasting it over the bar from right by the post! by Mike Britchfield.
I remember playing at Chailey Junior School and down the Eastside recreation ground a couple of times, no showers in those days, unless it rained !
