Cricket - Curling - Fencing - Polo

Jan. 01, 1964 - It's just not cricket! Fraternising with the opposition: This sort of thing isn't quite in the spirit of the game, even if it is done by international players when they score goals, but in this case it is perhaps excusable if the two happen to be an engaged couple playing on opposite sides. This incident between back clerk George Moore and his fiancee Sylvia Watkins occurred during a charity match played at St. Paul's Cray in Kent between the Partridge Football Club and a team of their wives and sweethearts, referred by Charlton star Eddie Firmani, in aid of the old people. At the end nobody really new the score, although the girls claimed that they had won 7-6. Photo shows George Moore tries diversion tactics on the opposition in the form of his fiancee Sylvia Watkins during the match yesterday
