THE Journal reported on a junior football match 40 years ago, the scoreline of which could most charitably described as “conclusive”. The report of 1971 read: “Evesham Cubs found Hampton Cubs in fine footballing form last week.
Having lost 6-4 earlier in the season, Evesham were completely overrun by a strong Hampton side which won 19-0.
Among the scorers were Andrew Winkett and David Greig with five goals each.”
