OPM Vets (The Galleons) Club Report
Many of the same players as last year and a few new, but not much younger, returned to Windsor to defend the trophy they won last year.

After a stunning opening try by (younger than he looks but older than he acts) flame haired hooker Simon Adams, the Galleons suffered two major setbacks when blind-side Mark Turner broke his arm, followed by youngster (to the club) Andy Paice tearing his achilles tendon, always a weak spot for your classical hero types.  Despite these losses OPM Galleons pressed on to beat Windsor Jesters and might have beaten Basingstoke had they not lost a bit of momentum in the first half, and had to play a dangerous and ultimately unsuccessful game of catch-up in the second-half.

With several more injuries the Galleons found themselves down to only 15 players who could still stand for the plate semi final. The team struggled on but went down bravely to Marlo,w despite a rare show of pace by winger Martin Finlay to race down the blind side to score the Galleons final try of the tournament.
 
A quiet night was had by all.
