Man Of The Match: The Whole Team!

A fantastic effort against a team two leagues above. Given our difficult season, the players on the park played with pride and effort and in typical Shire Hall style, never gave up trying to play rugby. At the end of the day we didn’t have a strong enough side but we didn’t disgrace ourselves. And we scored!

Thanks to our supporters who came along to support us, especially to injured players Scott, Brian, Rog and Andy and the VPs – it was much appreciated!
