Sun "Charity Cup" match                 1923/24

The football match arranged by the employees of The Sun Engraving Company on Saturday, in aid of their "Hard luck" Fund was a great success, and it is an open question who enjoyed the game most - the players or the spectators.
"Hawk-Wards" (Machine Department) and "We'll Show 'Em" (Composing Department).
the "form" displayed, both from a physical and football point of view, was in some cases, marvellous.
The "Hawk-Wards", however, eventually won by five goals to three.
After the match there was a cup of tea, a souvenir to the player who displayed the best "form" - mr Harry Compton.
This was followed by a whist drive, and a very enjoyable day terminated with hearty thanks to all those who had assisted in organising the affair.
