Trip to Twickenham

The U15s had a very enjoyable trip to Twickenham on 4th September to see the double header that opened the new Premiership season.


Traffic problems meant that we only arrived in time for the second half of the match between London Irish and Saracens. In the second match, Wasps versus Harlequins, the crowd was distracted from the play for at least 5 minutes as Mexican wave after wave rippled round and round the stadium. The air was thick with the cardboard beer holders as they were spun into space from the upper tiers.

Chris contemplates breaking something later

While waiting for the homeward traffic to thin, Chris Stafford showed the boys how it was done with a flat out tackle on a bush. When the pints of anaesthetic had worn off he discovered that he had broken his arm. First injury of the season to the parents.

Many thanks to Louise Buckle for making all the arrangements for a great day out.
