Your comments, we'll add them as you send them, thanks to Neil Jordan for the great photos........and thanks to all that wore your 'sapperrugby' shirts with pride, over 700 shirts were sold on the day, and everywhere you went in Twickenham you could see a sapper shirt - 'ubique' Please note we have passed many of your comments to the ARU and 'Twickenham experiance' re bar waiting times and security, lets hope they take note! The game was great,
a relatively quiet first 30 minutes, then the Army's training came
into its own, and our strength and determination won through. Fair
play to the Navy, they never give up, and their final push and try
showed us their true spirit. After that, it was queueing at the
heeras fencing for the youth opportunities program security teenager
to have the bottle to start letting 4,000-odd thirsty Sappers in.
Another good hours wait, and finally proper socializing. Many thanks
for a great day. Sorry a bit
delayed but thank you for a kicking game and social event in the
bar, Just a short
note to say that we all had a great day last saturday. I kept bumpinging
into old friends some of which I have not seen in 20 years. Most
of which appeared to have aged somewhat better than I !!! To all those involved. Just to say thanks for a great day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. A few beers, a great game of rugby and the company of old mates. What more could a man need. Thanks again and here\'s to next year!! LLoyd Comer |

Just
a quick note to say thanks from a gunner.
Thanks for the
tickets. Lynn and I had a great day out. Caught up with loads of
old pals and the odd aquaintance! Really enjoyed the game too. Network
Rail were poor as ever but that did not seem to dampen the spirits
of the Army and Navy crowd to and from the match! |
