EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from November 1969, we see a group of determined young girls lined up in their adorable mini soccer dresses. It should have been the time for kick-off at the Blinkers Utd v All Stars XI charity football match, but unfortunately, the weather had other plans. The match was cancelled due to unfavorable conditions that rendered the pitch unfit for play. As disappointment loomed over the players and spectators alike, something unexpected happened. While the men watched on with amusement, these spirited girls took matters into their own hands. Armed with umbrellas to protect their perfectly styled hair from the rain, they fearlessly ran around Manchester's Belle Vue ground. This snapshot captures a moment of both humor and resilience as these young athletes refused to let a little rain dampen their spirits. Their determination shines through as they embrace the unpredictable weather with grace and enthusiasm. The image is not only a testament to women's involvement in sports during this era but also showcases how even adverse circumstances can lead to moments of joy and camaraderie. These girls embody true sportsmanship by making the best out of an unfortunate situation. Ultimately, while goals may not have been scored on that rainy day in 1969, what truly mattered was the unity fostered among teammates and supporters alike – all coming together for charitable causes close to their hearts.
