Video Highlights from the Barnes Bridge 2017 Final and other tournament games
Barnes Bridge 2017
Great weekend in Sedbergh for the 2017 Barnes Bridge
Dave Butler gets his name on the trophy for the first time, following in the path of many Wessex greats (well Will E anyway!) He picked a great partner in Ben Beltrami
Semi finalists but battered off court 15-2 by Will and Gareth in the first before restoring respectability 15-11 in the second.
All proper fives tournaments should have a sit down lunch!
No pasta loading here. Black pudding and Brisket for some.
Wessex team arrive in Sedbergh and after a long drive..... and sit down to watch the rugby. Come on England!
Long drive up North was all worth it to see Scotland taken to bits by England (sorry Rory and Martin!).
Barnes Bridge 2017
The first place in the world to publish the draw....!
Well done College Boys
In amongst all the fives happening up in Edinburgh over the weekend we must not loose site of the amazing achievement of The College boys who provided all the finalists for the U18 and U16 West of England Doubles and Singles. Quite an achievement! Well done Giles et al. Read more about it here. http://rugbyfivesassociation.net/winchester-college-dominates-west-of-england-championships/
Very strong Fettes 1st IV.
Jesters win, but their first pair won both their matches. Luckily they will be playing for the Jesters next year!
Jesters Meal at La Petite Folie
35 of us for dinner last night and very nice speeches from Guy, Duncan and Alex thanking Frank for his 27 years organising the tour. Toasts were given to the next 30 years
First loss on tour ☹️
Excellent game vs Calli but we go down 139-129
