EXTENDED FAMILY

 

The ´extended´ family - the News of the World stage crew that travelled across to Ireland every year for the Divisional Finals - realised that it was the end of a ´Golden Era´.

 

The News of the World Stage Crew with Ken and Louis Donohoe.

 

The brothers, Les and Harold Treble, Bill Williams, Denis Larkin, Dave Whooley and John Morris ´blended´ into the family every March when they came over to the Emerald Isle.
