Friday Photos 100: Sealink memories

This week the photos are from the Sealink Youth Cup. There are several players who are well known faces including Sue Collier, Matthew Syed, Bradley Billington, Nigel Tyler, Lisa Bellinger, Claire Potts and I think that is a young Nicky Mason there as well along with two ladies-in-waiting Jill Parker and Linda Jarvis.

The officials are also familiar faces. At the front: Di Jermyn, Fred Groom, Jack Melnick, Doris Moors and at the back: Dave Miller and Jack Randall.

Can you help name anyone else in the pictures and/or do you know when and where they were taken?
