Naturally the recent rain played a big part in making the grounds at North Hagley for the first time ever, not rock hard and dangerous for those with weak ankles.
The previous five years has seen amazingly hot weather on tournament day, but today's overcast and cool temperatures made it much easier to play in. Or in my case, to watch from the sidelines.

Thanks to Chief for putting the pinny on and cooking the snags and thanks to the refs who officiated fairly and well.
Thanks to Sumner Sharks. Thanks to Burnside Black Adders. Thanks to Christchurch Canardlys and Thanks to Linwood officially not the Bollocks, but really still are the Bollocks for making yet another reason why Classics Rugby is the best rugby. Thanks also to Keith for turning up, except for those that didn't turn up. We know where you live.
Also thanks to #FUS's new girlfriend Petra for helping with the tucker and the bar and for slapping a few of the boys about with her mighty thighs.

While Linwood keep on keeping the score and claiming the win, it was Classics Rugby who really won on the day.
