1903 - Hetton Old Boys - Junior Cup Winners
What we know about this image :
Despite the success of many clubs from the Hartlepools during the pre-Great War period, few images survive of the winning XVs from those decades.
One image that survives is of the Hetton Old Boys XV who came out as runners up in the 1902 Final against Empress Rovers. Hetton Old Boys managed to lift the Cup in 1903 with a victory over Croxdale Wanderers, on Hollow Drift. The Junior Cup Final that day played was followed by the Third Teams Cup Final which saw Old Boys Juniors through against Westoe Rovers.
The photograph of the Hetton side would have been taken outside their heaquarters at the Crown Hotel, Hetton-le Hole.
