EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1990, we witness the enthusiastic participation of both boys and girls at Thurstonland Junior School as Kirklees Rugby League Development Officer Stephen Deakin introduces them to the fundamentals of rugby league. Amidst a lively scrum, teacher Kay Martin stands proudly in the center, fully engaged in the action. The expressions on the children's faces reveal their genuine love for this exhilarating sport. Deakin's visit to Thurstonland is part of his wider mission to promote rugby league among young students across Huddersfield and West Yorkshire. As he tours various junior schools in the area, he aims to ignite a passion for sports and foster physical education among these impressionable minds. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when childhood was filled with camaraderie, outdoor activities, and shared experiences. It serves as a reminder of how crucial it is for educational institutions to provide opportunities for children to engage in team sports that teach valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience. As we delve into this nostalgic image captured by Staff at Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where innocence thrived alongside sporting ambition. This photograph embodies the joyous spirit of youth while highlighting the importance of fostering athletic development within our educational systems.
