Lymm Labour Amateur Football Club

Lymm has a proud sporting history with long established rugby, tennis and cricket clubs. But there are many other teams that came and went. Many are now forgotten.  How many local political parties could raise a football team these days?  This is Lymm Labour football team- sometime in the 1920s. The picture was taken outside  Lymm Labour Club near Lymm bridge. In those days, long before TV, local political parties were a focus of social activity. The local Labour party had a busy calendar with whist drives and other events almost every week.
