Children playing rugby in the mud 5th April 1972. When it comes to Rugby, little Yvonne Davis is clearly one of the boys. She can romp about in the mud with the best of them. Seven-year-old Yvonne has been showing her paces in the final of the Rugby League tournament at her school in Leeds, Yorkshire. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a rainy day on April 5th, 1972. The image captures a group of children fearlessly engaging in a game of rugby amidst muddy conditions. Their faces beaming with joy and determination as they tackle each other and chase after the ball. Amongst these spirited youngsters stands Yvonne Davis, defying gender norms by showcasing her skills alongside her male peers. With every stride she takes through the muck and every tackle she executes fearlessly, Yvonne proves that passion knows no boundaries or limitations. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when children found solace and delight in outdoor activities despite adverse weather conditions. It serves as a reminder that true camaraderie and sportsmanship transcend societal expectations. The Daily Mirror's lens captured this remarkable scene during their coverage of local events within Leeds during April 1972 – an era fondly remembered for its carefree spirit and unadulterated love for sports.
