A second successive washout for both Millwey Rise senior teams meant some time for some delving into the past in terms of the club history by Dick Sturch, writes Steve Birley.
Dick was part of a successful Rise side in the late 1950’s and early 1960s.
One of our two photographs is a classic football picture in as much as it shows how things have changed since those times!
It shows members of the Millwey Rise team on their visit to Hawkchurch in the 1959060 season.
Henry Trenchard, Dave Hawkins, Jack Spiller, Geoff Vicary and Derek ‘Dick’ Sturch are in the picture and how would modern day players cope with the ball being carried by Jack Spiller?
What’s more the players kit bags from that era are certainly something to behold!
