John (F.G.S. 1960-1967) writes… “My notes say we were Farnborough U/16 league champions, which I don’t remember anything about, I wonder if there are any records anywhere. Also that we were ‘Finalists, Fred Jones Memorial Cup’ which I’m afraid I remember all too well. Despite the fancy name, it was the Hampshire Schools U/16 Challenge Cup. It was played at Fleet F.C’s ground. The Jab drove half the team (including me) to the game and I cannot remember who we were playing. We’d beaten them 7-1 earlier in the season, but were well beaten 3-1 on the day, the opening goal for them an absolutely horrible mistake by me, completely missing my kick in the penalty area giving an unmissable chance. Awful memory.”

Terry Bridgeman (F.G.S. 1960-1965) writes… “We won all our matches in the Aldershot and Farnborough schools league and so we were the champions.
We lost 2-1 to Fernhill School in the first round of the knockout competition but beat Fernhill School 7-2 away in the 1st round of the Hampshire Schools cup after having been 2-0 down. We then went to Southampton and beat Bittern Park School 8-0. In the semi-final we were again drawn away from home and beat Portsmouth Northern Grammar School by 4-3.
In the final at Fleet we lost 3-1 to Charles Chute School from Basingstoke.
