RCS sent packing by baggage handlers

A disappointing turn-out resulted in RCS meeting the luggage-lugging lard-arses with only thirteen men. After borrowing two players we went out to face the incredible mass of the opposition. Their size and power was telling, particularly in the forwards, but we fought well and, thanks to our superior speed and mobility, scored a marvellous try - Colone crashing over the line after beating an incredible seven tackles. In the second half against wind and rain the RCS passing want banana-shaped to say the least and the baggage-handlers took control.

Stout tackling against their heavier forwards prevented an even greater loss. Man of the match was Anthony Spicer. Spoon of the match was awarded to Darren Bryce.

White Nights

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short novella revolving around loneliness, unrequited love,  and dreams still resonates with our society today.  The nameless narrator of White Nights, a lonely young man, meets Nastenka, a young woman with whom he forms a strong relationship,  yet  they  promise to  keep it friendly rather than romantic.
