1910 - Hartlepool Rovers - Senior Cup Finalists
What we know about this image :
The only Cup poster to survive from this Golden period, however the outcome was an unsuccessful visit to Ashbrooke for Rovers, when they returned empty handed having gone down to Durham City by just 3 pts to 0.
The Final and its aftermath was not so golden though, Rovers had a player sent off, Sivewright missed a vital penalty to bring them level, one touchjudge raised his flag but changed his mind, no goal. The Ref was "interviewed" afterwards and confirmed his decision. The following week the teams met again at Hartlepool, Rovers won, but another player sent off. At the June County AGM, Arthur Hill made a self-appointed attempt to have the Cup withdrawn from City, protest turned down!
The clubs met yet again in September at Hartlepool another win and normal relations resumed!
