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....!
