1924 - Hartlepool Rovers v Ryton - Senior Cup

What we know about this image :

 The 20s proved a very successful decade for Rovers ln the Senior Cup and this particular campaign they beat Winlaton Vulcans 47 - 0, Blaydon 14 -3 and the Sunderland 18 -8 before taking on Ryton in the Final at Westoe coming out winners by 15 - 7, their 20th win in 26 Finals!

A sign of the times though, Rovers agreed that anyone unemployed who produced a Benefit Card could gain admission to the Friarage Field for half price.

In the background is the Manor House, then part of Hartlepools Hospital.later St Hilda's. Part of the building still stands.
