Most likely an Upholland Grammar School team Ron.
Centre of back row in blazer is Donald Green, who was a pupil at the grammar at the time.
He went on to be deputy head of Upholland Secondary Modern.
An excellent teacher who was well respected.
It'll be a grammar school side because the pic was taken outside the old Upholland grammar school building.
It will be a Grammar school team as Wigan had one of the same name. My Dad, Norman Cunliffe, played for the team. I think it depended on your size.
The UGS Bantams was a junior team which played other schools.
Back Row - Staines,Silley, ?, Green Pennington,Fowler,Holt
Middle Row - Latham Jordan,Miller,Lythgoe,Halliwell, ? , Adamson,Glover
Front Row - Higgins,Ion,Prescott,Walker
Malcolm Staines and Roy Silley went on to be well known Rugby players
Don Green was best man at my wedding!
