There’s more to sport in our town than just football and Mansfield Town – as this gallery shows.
Our latest spotlight on the grassroots scene takes a look at the range of minority sports on offer, including ice hockey, table tennis pictures from over 50 years ago, judo, ice skating and basketball.
We’ve got a host of clubs on show, including Sutton Sting and Mansfield Giants, so take a look and see who you can spot
And if you liked this gallery, you might also enjoy this piece on Mansfield Lawn Tennis Club down the years, here.
