School Football Team

A Memory of Bridport.

I was enrolled was in 1969,we where only 2 Africans in the school.My best friends where Nicholas and Alan.Excursion where a very exciting time and the Mother Superior would put the fear of God in you just by looking at you.During football training i scored such a spectacular that the next day the father choose me for school team.In my 1st debut for the team,i was brought in the 2nd half when we where 1-2 down,i can't forget that day when i just missed an equalizer.I was chosen as an alter boy,the part i didn't like was waking up before everyone else.Lent and Christmas was fun, and you where not to make any noise during tea time including no crunching of biscuits and i disliked milk.I also found piano lessons boring but i did enjoy the flute. Then there was a spooky story about about an alter boy appearing every year,I also remember a rainy when our dormitory nun asked us to pray for Belfast,i had no clue why.Any of my mates out there ?Peter Stirling Dorkenoo .
