Dead Ball Charlie’s Highlights of the week

Dead ball Charlie is on holiday this week but he did send a message after the AGM to the Editor

“During the AGM it was great that there was a break – to walk out on that deck and see college rugby being played under lights and a large crowd of young college students in attendance brought tears to his eyes.”

“Our Rugby– Just Brilliant”
