The annual Vets v Virgins fixture took place on Thursday (22/12/2016) evening.

The Pitch had been repaired by David Rhodes who has done a fantastic job in repairing our pitches after the recent vandalism.

The Young Virgins came out winners with a Last Minute Try from Billy Charles

Final score 19 - 12 to the Virgins

3 Tries to 2

Well Played ALL

Have a very Happy Christmas

(Hopefully more to be reported so keep viewing)

This eagerly awaited fixture featured no less than 5 dads playing their lads in a truely well supported game at Kelham Road with over 30 vets and 22 Virgins , who included 5 Newark 1st XV Players.

The vets had made an early decision to keep the ball and drive through the centre of the park and keep the ball close , this was met by a determined Virgins side which kept the Vets in its own 22 for much of the first 20 minute quater.

The second quater produced a concerted Vets effort up front to give the backs the opportunity to score, with both sides getting over the whitewash it set the match up for a grand finale which the Virgins saw through by a late match winning try by Billy Charles.

Overall a good day at Kelham Road with a full Club house enjoying some early Christmas spirit.

Thanks go to Andrew Russell Webster , Tommy Pykett and Tony Ward for officiating
