EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment of unity and support, this vintage print showcases the Watford Ladies football team playing an exhibition match on Watford High Street in aid of the Help the Aged youth campaign. The year was 1974, and amidst the vibrant atmosphere, actor Jack Smethurst took on the role of referee for this special game. As passionate spectators cheered from all corners, these talented women showcased their skills with grace and determination. Their dedication to both sport and charity shone brightly as they played for a cause close to their hearts. The event not only highlighted their prowess on the field but also demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact within their community. However, amidst all the excitement, an unexpected twist unfolded when Jack Smethurst found himself at risk of being dunked into a nearby pond. Perhaps it was his refereeing decisions or simply mischievous banter among players that led to this playful threat – forever immortalized in this photograph. This snapshot from January 26th, 1974 takes us back to an era where women's football was still striving for recognition and respect. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while celebrating those who paved the way for future generations. Bunny Atkins' lens captures not just a game but also moments filled with camaraderie, empowerment, and unwavering spirit.
