St Aidan’s 2nd X1 – Hartlepool Schools Junior Cup Winners 1921

What we know about this image :

St Aidan’s had a successful end to 1920/21 season winning both the Schools Association Senior and Juniors Football Cups.  This is an image of the 2nd X1 captained by John Skidmore which beat Elwick Road 1 – 0 in a replay of the Final on Caledonian Road – the home ground of St Joseph’s-, the goal coming from Stokes and praise for the goalie A Swift who withstood a late rally from Elwick Road. The Rev Knowlden presented both Cups at a ceremony at the School.  From the scant reports of the Final John Skidmore must be the player holding the ball with goalie A Swift in the back row. Itis reasonable to assume that the Rev Knowlden is seated on the extreme left of this image with Headmaster G Fawcett, seated extreme right. Mr G Rouse, who ran the Football team is probably standing extreme right with Rev T Hudson standing extreme left. Any information on names etc would be appreciated. The picture is taken at St Aidan’s Vicarage in front of the French Windows facing Stockton Road
