I have attached a copy of a recent (inappropriately titled) 'Snapshot of Craven from bygone years' which features Ermysteds and KBGS first XV about to play the first game on the 'top pitch' at Oakbank. The name, which  hope are correct follow:

There are numerous inaccuracies in the Craven Herald's report as the game was actually played on September 26th 1965. Gilbert Swift's 'Rugby Notes' from the 'Summer 1965' edition of 'The Keighlian' are also attached.
