| Well done Silver2 for getting the correct season - Bevan had already played his first trial match on 17th November 1945 but had to return to Australia for demob and didn't come back till the next season...so this is the immediate post-war "transitional" team which didn't yet feature many of the stalwarts of the later 40's who were still awaiting demob themselves....The ball carrier hasn't been guessed yet, so I'll end the misery and name Billy Belshaw.... here's the pic with the teamsheethttps:i.imgur.com/NnD6396.jpg" >OUT
BTW, George Taylor also features in my avatar....
Does anyone know what colours the kit here was?
Nice job everyone!

| I should have got John Rothwell as he was my son in laws grandad. For the colours I'd go for blue shirts with yellow cuffs, white shorts and blue socks.

Why are our colours primrose and blue?

I believe this results from the club cosying up to Lady Greenall. She was a Conservative, hence the blue and her favourite flowers were primroses. Alas, in spite of all of this kowtowing she never did sponsor the club.

B is Workington
D is Hull. Quite a good game, actually. A couple of disallowed tries, some good play. It was a Saturday afternoon game, on Granada, for Rugby League Live
Was F Leigh?????

Weren't Greenall's originally a St Helens family? Might explain it.

Yes them’s all correct
Football scores in rugby games
I remember them as sanded mud baths and you didn’t know who was who after 10 mins.
Team A.C.E left.

There was a Greenalls brewery on the corner of Hardshaw street and Church street.
All the old bus stops were on Hardshaw street by the brewery.
