bathcity9 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I have acquired a match programme for Saltash United v D.A.A.A played on Sunday 13th October 1974. Would anybody know what D.A.A.A. stands for and what competition this match was played in please? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ye 28 minutes ago, Brianmooreshead said: Isn't it something to do with the Dockyard Apprentices ? Yes, Dockyard Apprentices Athletic Association (or similar). They were a star studded side comprising Devonport Dockyard apprentices that reached the final of a national youth competition three seasons in a row, winning it twice at Wembley (this particular season, 74/75, included).Would think it was a friendly as the DAAA played in the P&D League and The Ashes in the South Western League. Always love reading the adverts in these old programmes. The King Cockle in Burraton certainly brings back memories, stopped for a chip supper in there on the way home from watching my first ever professional football match. Argyle 1 (David Kemp) Brentford 0,September 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
