Re: Harry Boyle Cup
Finally found one who might still be alive. This is a comment on an obit of someone who was born in 1935. There appear to be two email addresses which might be useful.

I have known Jack from when we were both 12 years old, and when his family moved from Huncoat to Clayton le Moors.A few of us were playing cricket on some spare ground off Earl St he asked to join in and from that day we have been friends,in fact I regarded him as my best friend,We spent our teenage and early life together,and have remined friends all these years.I will miss our chats on sorting the worlds problems out,and remembering all those days from the past. Most of all I will miss him.

Re: Harry Boyle Cup
Lancashire Schools Football Association - History
The Nineteenth Century and Early Years of the Twentieth Century - Pioneers
Schools’ football was played in Liverpool and probably in other areas of the county in the seventies of this century. Definitive records, however, indicate that Aigburth National School won the senior football competition in 1893. The Harry Boyle Cup, presented by a local business- man in 1897 for Blackburn schools, remains probably the oldest trophy still contested for to this day. The first semi-finals and final were played at Ewood Park. The Alderman Ord Cup, presented to Preston SFA in 1906, is the closest contestant within the present Lancashire and since that date is traditionally played at Deepdale. Both competitions are keenly contested to this day with Blackburn and Preston records showing a fine pedigree of winners.

Poassibly this was the businessman who donated the cup?

The shop in the middle with the old-fashioned window is that of furniture dealer Harry Boyle who, at the time, also had premises in King Street. Next door, to the right, with a crowd of youngsters in front of Leeming and Yates saddlers' and to the left of handcart on the pavement is the Ye Olde White Bull Hotel, which was established in 1750. It was pulled down at the end of 1959 to make way for a modern pub of the same name, but known since 1979 as the Brewer's Arms. The line-up outside Boyle's shop and the crowd being carefully kept on either side of it suggests the photographer was there for an 'occasion' - which may have been the forthcoming passing of the premises which were demolished afterwards, giving Calendar Street access to Salford.Classification No:C62Salford Identifier:Original Size: Length: 132mm Height: 175mmYou may freely reproduce this content provided you do not do so in the course of a business and state clearly that the content was provided by LET for use in the Cotton Town digitisation project.

Re: Harry Boyle Cup
I just gathered from your post to Eric on another thread that you are the Roy Smethurst in the photo. Bit annoyed about that, you might have told me or anyone else before we go off looking for these people. But then you do have a habit of starting threads with just a sentence and not providing any other information or opinions.
Anyway good luck with finding out more about the cup. It's funny that there's no more info on the net if it is still being played for today.

Even reading those posts I would not have guessed that you were in the photo, just that your friend was, let alone what your name was.
Anyway I'm glad you are still alive even though you have been playing games with me, and no I won't smack your hand, you'd probably enjoy it. You can do your own research next time.

Mr Howson, who sent the photo in, died about 2 yrs ago. His wife still lives in Willows Lane.

Re: Harry Boyle Cup
Hi all, well I have Harry Boyle cup winners medal, it was my fathers he played in goal for All Saints school Clayton I also think I may have a team photo somewhere but I get the impression it was a very prestigous cup to win as the medal is gold so there must have been quite a substantial sponsorship courtesy of Mr. Boyle. Old Saintonian.
