This photo was taken at a charity match at Lane End by John Dunn two days before the outbreak of WWI. The women were wives and sisters of club members and provided the opposition. The men batted with hockey sticks and forfeited a run every time their top hats fell off but they still won easily!

Jennie Williamson (nee Beavan)

Kate Roberts (nee Aston)

Emily Begrie (nee Jones)

Margaret Tyson (nee Dunn) - sister of John Cragg Dunn, who was killed in the war on 25th March 1916.
