This is my famous ` tanner ` goal.When I played for Irthlingborough Diamonds ( now part of the Rushden & Diamonds F.C.) my Aunt Grace gave me a tanner when ever I scored a goal.  I well remember this goal, I just managed to connect before Taff Ellis ? trapped my foot but too late because the ball looped over the goalie and into the net. I think the goalie was Donaghue who told notorious tales of a weekend in Cyprus.
Anyway, when I next wrote home to Aunt Grace, I enclosed a copy of the picture and lo and behold, two weeks later the postal order shown here arrived from my Aunt.


I was so chuffed but would not be seen dead cashing in a postal order for sixpence so I still have it to this day.

Typical inter billet match I believe. Man in the middle may be Barry  ?





Taff Ellis ? again clearing the ball away from goal.

Supporting our team in a cup game at Kabrit. Not sure if it was PSCO or the Station side. I do remember we pinched some of Kabrit`s fire gongs to sound off during the match. I think this is Malc Horder taking a penalty and the goalkeeper pulling off a save.

Unknown person driving off one of the raised tees on Kasfareet`s celebrated 9 hole golf course where a ball landing outside the camp perimeter wire or in the C.O.`s property incurred a penalty.

Handover point in a womens relay race








Getting a comfortable seat for the athletics

    Mens sprint finish
Picture

No judges on the finishing line and runners not running in lanes so obviously a distance race with at least one more lap to go



Dressed up like that and some even wearing ties, this has got to be an Officers Invitation Race

Now that guy is really shifting

The sports field with no 1 football pitch nearest with no 2 football pitch behind and hockey pitch further back then the cricket pitch furthest away. The cricket pavilion and sight screen to left of picture. Taken from the guard tower close to the football pitches.
Picture
Pictured from the guard tower, this is looking down the length of the no 1 football pitch with the rugby pitch and athletics track beyond. The sargeants mess is further back

Twelve pictures of a football match being played on what was at one time the old hockey pitch. Behind the goalmouth you can see the high mullochy fence around the tennis courts (See Jack Garry`s tennis pictures). I do not know what sort of match this is but it looks like the ref favoured long trousers to shorts  !!  And also there are not many spectators. There are just a handful in front of the concrete bunker beside the pitch and one or two hidden by the shadow cast by the tennis fence.  Click on numbers below to view
