In 1935 a competition for the Geary Cup took place for the first time in memory of Harry. St Mark's won this - I have a small trophey and medal awarded to my grandfather. Although he didn't play in the final as it took place the day after he got married, his brother-in-law (my g-uncle) did.
Let me know if you'd like photos.
