Any one got the score? Was there a fly past at this one?
Is anyone going to the Army v Navy game a week this Saturday?

On the bright side both the Ladies (25-10) and Veterans (25-22) teams won. Still doesnt bode well for tomorrow:(
Speaking to a lad who played in it, I hear the Army might be in for a shock this year; I'm half tempted to put a few quid on the Dark Blue for the Twickenham game...

Army v RAF tomorrow (Wed 23 - St Georges Day, the patron Saint of England and.....Soldiers) at Newbury. A few years back the RAF nearly beat us due to complacency and the RN went on to beat us for the same reason. Those that sit on their laurels get a sore arrse.

That must have been quite a few years ago; I've been to most RAF v Army matches for the last decade or more and it's an awfully long time since the RAF got close to Fiji....er, I mean, the Army! Might have been when they played at Kingsholm, Gloucester about 10 years ago!
We were stuffed 67 - 12

It was the last time the RN beat us, about 6? Maybe 7? I too make it most Army RAF games, see you/exchange banter tomorrow!

RAF v Army was 6-45(?). Not too bad marred by a little uneccessary argy-bargy 3 or 4 times. The Army appeared not to have many joined up moves with a lot of the scores either on the break or as result of mistakes by the RAF. The RAF did not have the monopoly on mistakes with the Army making some cringing errors in attack, defence, when required was pretty solid. The Army v RN will be a good match, I am looking forward to it.

Did'nt think anyone actually watched the game!

On the bright side, the vultures (RAF vets) beat the army vets and are now interservice champs!
