These retro images capture the joy and passion of grassroots sport around Mansfeld and Ashfield

Whatever the sport there is a club for you no so very far away, offering leisure or competive sport as well as a great social environment.

Here we take a look at just some of the clubs which has been a part of our community and helped create so many magic memories.

Pictures include youth football around town, Mansfield Harriers, Mansfield, Sherwood and Sutton Swimming Clubs – and more.

Take a look and see if you feature. We’d love to see your sporting snaps. Email stephen.thirkill@nationalworld,com if you have images you’d like to share.
