Thurnscoe to Halifax

Ernest Hoyland, a well known Thurnscoe allrounder, recently transferred from Firbeck to Halifax Town, played his first game in the Third Division on Saturday against Port Vale and came out with flying colours.

Well known in local football he formerly played with Thurnscoe Vics and Rawmarsh Welfare and he will have the best wishes of a large circle of friends.

During the close season he plays cricket with Houghton Main.

He is still in his teens and should make good in both spheres of sport.
