This photo is from a 1935 publication by Rhyl County School later renamed Rhyl Grammar School; a cheap printing process and the passage of time have taken their toll. Some of the most violent clashes I’ve ever witnessed on playing fields have taken place in girls’ hockey matches but the sporting ethos of fair play and healthy competition usually prevails.Early this year a Government survey revealed that competitive sports were going out of fashion among youngsters of school age. They seemed to favour other kinds of activities such as cheerleading, street/break dancing, yoga and circus skills. Hmmmm, well in my old school we had a few clowns.
