Lynn Primary School football team players are pictured before their East Anglia Shield fixture with Isle of Ely Schools, played at West Winch in March 1977.
It was a match they had to win to claim a share of the Anglia Shield, but they lost 1-0. Lynn dominated for long periods, but Isle of Ely scored from a breakaway attack.
On the back row from left are M Booth (West Winch), A Marrazini (St Edmunds), G Quinlan (St Marthas), R Thomas (St Marthas), M English (Reffley), D Sheehan (Pott Row) and M Bunn (St James); front row, M Starling (St James), S Bird (West Lynn), P Taylor (Gaywood Junior), M Rippengill, captain (West Winch), M Pearce (West Winch) and J Barker (St Edmunds).
