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 offurniture dealer Harry Boyle who, at the time, also had premises in King Street.

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.
