Our Opponents ....

Without them we would never have played a match. So much is obvious (and in that sense we owe them a lot), but I guess we took them for granted. Taffy I imagine arranged all the fixtures; we just turned up at the appointed time and place and did our best to thrash them.

Looking back, I for one was in almost total ignorance about the schools we played; a shocking lack of curiosity. And now after nearly 60 years I am equally shocked to find that I can remember very little of them, even though I must have been to many of them several times.

Well, it seemed worthwhile to learn at last something about these schools we played against and see a few images, though mostly from the present. They may jog the fading memory, however.

I have started with Culford. When working on the statistics, I realized I did not even have a clue where it was!
