Last Sunday we took a squad to the annual Barnet Elizabethan's festival to compete against sides from Cheshunt, Finchley, Chess Valley and of course the hosts. Traditionally we have done very well in this festival but whenever there is a structure change (this year we now have 12 players on the pitch) it is always a challenge to see if the children have adapted to the new game.
Unfortunately the pitch was very small and narrow which would not suit our preferred expansive rugby style of play. However, with the team improving as the games went on, we won all four matches to win our first trophy of the season.
Normally the win would lead to post match celebrations and the presentation of the Trophy. However with the rain now teaming down and the organisers less organised than they would have liked we found that the Trophy would actually be sent onto us by post!
