Never went the school from across the water, but still an amazing piece of football history on the schoolyard as well in an organised tournament; thank you for sharing this lovely piece of film taking us all back to our schooldays whether at the school in the film or elsewhere.
We had the very same here in Dublin. Some great player's came from the street soccer. We had great tournaments all inner-city. Different flat complexs, different streets all areas competing for bragging rights. Sumner wouldn't be the same without street soccer. Hand in hand it went with poverty and unemployment. Great when a kid. Memories 👊☘️
Brilliant video. Nice one for bringing dads video camera in .....you dont realise how important those memories are until you're passed it ! I was there from 78-85 Vivat haec so dalitas (my latin is not as good as it used to be)
I remember playing in some of these games in '72 and '73. If my memory serves correctly the competition was an annual inter form knock out split between first/second years. Then third/fourth years and finally fifth/lower sixth and upper sixth. They were taken seriously and surprisingly competitive.

Thank you!
A brilliant competition...totally took over school when it was on
Thanks mate 👍
This was filmed in my first year of high school, I hated every single day, until I left in 76.
Some schools are/were, simply hellholes for some…

Around 1:25 it’s almost like looking at a Lowry painting
Exactly what I thought when I first copied it from the cine!!!
What year did it go Comprehensive? I think the dregs from every sink estate and L8 finest went from then. Hated that school. 😂
1973.
But it was full of scum before then.
Shaw st ?
Correct!
I have bad nightmares about what happened on the top floor of that school.
