Barnes Bridge Video Highlights 2017
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
Will has won this many times and will do again but not this year, going down with Gareth Price in 3 games.
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/
