What we know about this image :

Throston Wanderers was very succcessful in the 20s and 30s in the thriving Pyman League and County Junior Cup scene of those times.

They won the  County Junior Cup defeating Red Rose on the Friarage by 8 pts to 6 in 1922/23 season.  The previous season  Throston's second XV had won the first Lormor Cup Competition beating Seamans Institute II 6 - 3. The club's run of success continued in 1923/24 when they won the Pyman Cup & Flag which was flown from the flagstaff at Throston School.

This photo shows the side that won the County 3rd Teams Cup in 30 -31 but the club finally folded in 1933, their Final success being in that year by lifting of the Pyman Cup in April beating Horden 8 - 0 in the Final.
