the school football kit was claret n blue (west ham) which i can only remember one game definitely played against Harding memorial in which we got stuffed. there might have been a second game played but that's a big maybe.

My brother was born in june 1957, and he also went to saint Agustines he probaby only got first year out of it tho. must ask him if he has any memories of it.

I was always wondering why i left Lagan Village primary school to go to Saint Anthonys and now i know thanks to you Olelad i know  it was because Lagan Village closed.
