Discovered during researches in All Saints archives, this is a photograph of the Church Rugby team in Season 1891/1892. 

"Mail" records shows they were defeated by "Hartlepool Old Boys" at Foggy Furze on Saturday, 7th December that season in a Hartlepools Junior Cup 2nd Round tie. The "Mail" report also mentions Mr Thorne played splendid (sic), but he is not of the photo!

A note on the photo reads  “Ted Withy, 151 Stockton Road, possibly E.A.Withy who is on the front row in the picture.

 The draw for the Hartlepool Junior Cup that season shows the clubs that Stranton PC and Old Boys went into the hat with and gives a hint of the local Junior Club season at this time, there were other town Junior Clubs  but involved in the County Junior Cup. The Hartlepool Cup draw included, Hartlepool Juniors, Ocean Wanderers, Hartlepool Wesleyans, West End Wanderers, West Hpool St James, Star of Egypt, Hpool Trinity and Rosebank.  Old Boys and St James met in the Final, which had to go a replay due a protest from St James, the protest was upheld, and St James won the replay with Dr Bertie Morison presenting the Cup.
