11th April 2019 The Totty Cup was donated by Russell Totty for the start of the 1922/23 season. The Dearne Schools’ FA ran this as a senior school competition. In 1947 two neighbouring SFAs merged to form the Don & Dearne SFA. In the same year the Totty Cup became a primary school competition. The Don & Dearne had an outstanding representative team. The Clarke Shield was for those schools that were knocked out in the first round of the Totty Cup. This became the Barlow-Salmons in 1974, when Frank Barlow & Geoff Salmons donated a trophy . They had both enjoyed their time playing Don & Dearne football and wanted to give something back.

Thanks to the sponsors: George Jowett Memorial Fund for sponsoring the competition & to Stuart Bisby and Martin Weir for driving this funding. Also the Swinton Community Sports Ground Trust with Phil Andrews and Andy Billups leading this source of funding.

Vote to digitise the South Times archive When looking for Totty Cup history, it is so much easier to use the British Newspaper Archive’s digitised collection, as opposed to wading through microfiche. The Telegraph and Green Un are already digitised (pre-1958) - sadly, no Times issues are digitised. The system they have for which newspaper to consider scanning next is based on votes from the public. Here’s how to vote… tinyurl.com/y7o9jl7c

Search for “South Yorkshire Times”…there are a few…the one to vote for is You get 7 votes with 1 email address, maximum of 3 votes per suggested newspaper…so just give it 3 and you will have done your bit. Cheers!

Missing Team Photos

Many old team photos have been found, scanned &

shared over the last few years—with the help of Social Media. There are still lots missing: Totty Win :2000, ‘92, ‘90, ‘74, ‘73, ‘67, ‘62, ‘58, ‘53 Barlow-Salmons Win: 2011, 2009, 2005, 2000, ‘95, ‘94, ‘92, ‘90, ‘89, ‘87, ‘84, ‘83, ‘81, ‘80, ‘77, ‘76 Clarke Shield Win: ‘71, ‘69, ‘66, ‘64, ‘62, ‘60

Who needs shin-pads? 1979 at the LNER Swinton with Rawmarsh Monkwood’s Phillip Green scoring against Thurnscoe Hill in the Totty Cup Final (Dennis Lound) What happened to Mr. Totty? Nobody knew! For 90 years...until now…. cinema owner, Russell Totty , donated the trophy for the 1922/23 season. In 2018, an appeal in the Chronicle sparked one reader, Bryn Jones, to investigate where -born Russell ended up. Here’s what Bryn discovered...

In 1928 Russell and his family moved to Minehead in Somerset to run the Queen’s Theatre. Here in Minehead, Russell settled with his wife, Florrie and daughter, Freda.

During the war, Russell moved to Looe, Cornwall , where he ran the Ship Hotel. It was during this time that Russell had another son, Gordon Russell, who became known as “Rusty”. Russell (senior) died in Cornwall in 1948, aged 62. His grave is in Russell Totty pictured in the Kirk Balk cemetery, Hoyland. 1930s Florrie passed away in 1984 in Somerset. In April 2018, we made contact with Freda, who at 93 years of age, was still living in Minehead. Freda spoke very fondly of her father and his love of football. She was very proud to hear that the Totty Cup is still thriving. Freda sent the photograph of Russell. Sadly, Freda passed away in October 2018. Rusty is now 76 and lives in Paignton, Devon. He married Freda Iveson Totty (1925-2018) Margaret and has two sons and six grandchildren. The Totty Cup has been running for 96 years. For the last 90 years the connection between the Totty family and the Totty Cup was lost. The Totty Cup is funded entirely through sponsorship and is keen to hear from any businesses or individuals that can provide funds for the next 4 years—to reach the 100 year milestone.

If you can help please get in touch with Chris Brook via email at [email protected] Montagu Cup info required Some 26 years older than the Totty Cup is the Montagu Cup—another football institution from our patch.

The organisers are beginning to put together a website detailing the results, photographs and memories of the Montagu Cup.

There will be many gaps. If you have anything that you think will be of interest—please get in touch with Chris Brook via email at [email protected]

True to tradition, this year’s final will take place on Easter Monday (22nd April) at Hampden Road, Mexborough between Wombwell Main & Joker.

Brian “Bo” Hyde

Bo reffed countless Totty Cup & Barlow-Salmons finals across 4 decades - all voluntarily.

Brian played football and cricket to a good standard before becoming a referee. He was a popular figure throughout the region, particularly in Wath, where he was known as the “singing milkman”.

The tradition of officials giving their services for free continues today, with Gordon Swann leading them.

Rest in Peace , Bo. Thank You to… Thanks to • Ian Whitehouse (aka Big Bird) • Liam Hoden from the Sheffield Star • Andy Roe (photographer) • Swinton Academy—Dec Sweeney (groundsman) • Cluster Coordinators (Paul Beevor, Alison Quinn, Laura Colman, Craig Wood & Jon Bedford) • Officials: Gordan Swann, Lewis Purseglove, Paul Ardron Respect Please remain at one side of the pitch, behind the Respect barriers. The other side of the pitch is for the coaches and substitutes. There should be no spectators immediately behind or near the goal. We strive for school football to be played in a sporting spirit without the urgency to win at all cost. Please keep your comments positive. Extra Time If the teams are level at the end of normal time then 10 minutes of Extra Time will be played. If they are still level, there will be a 2nd period of Extra-Time. If they are still level, the match will be replayed on Thursday 9th May.
