Hello again people.Any of you that were at the depot 70/80s do you remember if there was a trophy played for in football.called the graham allston trophy .a young lad i did my training with sadly died in training .and i had heard that a trophy was to be named in his memory..just wondered if it was ever made/played for...any info would be great.. the chap came from haverford west and joined the depot with me ..sep.7th 1972...

I did my training there in 76 and our platoon never saw or took part in any football competition, best person to ask could be Derick Adams he was a PTI there at the time, so would be more in the know?

Cheers

Barry

I did my training in sep 72 korea platoon and never heard anything regarding a footy trophy.

I was there in the early 70s. I never heard of the trophy. I remember Graham Allston. He died in a caving accident.

Hi was in crickhowell in 78 we did not take part in any inter platoon football for a trophy

If anyone played for the trophy i think it would`ve been Junior Soldiers/Leaders + not Trg Coy. Not played for in `79, sorry.

I was a junior soldier in 81, and played a lot of Football but can't remember playing for any trophy with that name on.

I was there 1978/79 (junior soldiers) and as Dougie says no trophy for football.
