Warrenby Rally Wins Cup

A goal down at half time in their game with Cochrane’s F.C., in the final of the South Bank and District League Challenge Cup at Ayresome Park on Saturday, Dorman’s Warrenby scored three times in the second half without any reply from their opponents.
Cochrane’s deserved their interval lead and with a little luck would have been further ahead. They played better football with Evans, Connelly and A.Witherley outstanding on their left flank.
Change of tactics by Warrenby brought the second half goals, their forwards finding short passing movements of no avail against a keen tackling defence. Both ‘keepers, Thorpe and Briggs saved penalty kicks. J. Witherley scored for Cochrane’s with Leng, Calvey and Parker netting for Warrenby.
Mr. T. Purcell introduced Mr. W.R. Kelly, chairman of Middlesbrough F.C., who presented the cup and congratulated both teams on their display.

Evening Gazette
31 May and 2 June 1947

Cochrane’s beat Erimus 2-0 in the semi-final and Warrenby beat Port Clarence 2-1, Leng and Wallace scoring. Warrenby’s 2-0 league win against Smith’s Dock further strengthened their bid for the championship of Division 1of the South Bank and District League. Warrenby had held the leadership since the beginning of the season.
Extracted from Evening Gazette
6 May 1947

Cochrane’s won the Div 2 that year. Their young goal keeper, Wally Briggs, who played for Middlesbrough F.C. against Grimsby, was to sign professional forms for Middlesbrough after the cup final. (Eve Gaz)

The Great North Run 2000

Veteran athlete Maurice Green 75,puts in a bit of extra training on the beach for his 20th Great North Run. HE has a similar name to an Olympic sprint champion, but veteran athlete Maurice Green takes things a little slower, For unlike his speedy namesake, 75-year old MR Green prefers the steady slog of long distance runs. And with his 20th consecutive Great North Run coming up on Sunday, the gritty grandad shows no signs of hanging up his trainers just yet! Inspirational Mr Green, of Trevarrian Drive,Redcar, entered the first-ever Great North Run in 198I as a bit of fun.He's done it ever since and, 20 years on,he admits he can't shake off the bug. He said "It's like people who try to give up smoking - they mean to do it but never manage! "It's very catching, you know. I only do the Great North Run now but I used to do ten or 12 half marathons a year."And he admits there are a few differences between himself and his sprinter namesake, Maurice Greene.He laughed: "Well he's got an extra 'e* on his surname, and if we were doing a 100 metre race, he'd have to give me a 90 metre start!" Originally from Blyth, Mr Green a former ICI lab technician has always been a keen sportsman and played hockey for ICI Wilton until he was 70. Married to Catherine, he keeps fit by his running along Redcar beach, and working out at Redcar Leisure Centre a couple of times a week. And despite his many long runs over the years, including a London Marathon, it's the atmosphere at the Great North Run that keep him coming back for more.He said; "It's great! the crowds are good,and if they see you walking, they pick your number out and spur you on."I used to do it in under two hours, but it's more like two-and-a-half hours now,"I might stop after this one, but my wife reckons I've been saying that for 19 years!" GRANDAD Stan Barren is again donning his running shoes for seriously ill babies.Stan,62, of Corporation Road, Redcar, is tackling his fourth consecutive Great North Run on Sunday in aid of the Zoe's Place Hospice. The hospice set up by the LIFE charity, gives respite care to babies and children with multiple handicaps.Although situated in Liverpool, it takes children from all over the country. Stan became involved because his wife Margaret is a caring officer with Redcar LIFE Maurice told his story in an article for the Evening Gazette Thank you Maurice for sharing your story here, where many people will remember you,leaving your York road home, as I do, and trotting off for a training session.
