THE President’s XV came out on top against a chairman’s side in the annual festive fixture at Lichfield Rugby Club.
The match featured 40 players aged under 25, with virtually all of them bred by the mini-junior section.
The winners started well and were 17 points to the good after 25 minutes, only to be pegged back to a five point lead by half-time.
The coaches refocused the two teams at the break and the president’s line up put the game to bed by the hour mark with four more tries, as their extra power proved vital.
The chairman’s side finished well with two late converted efforts, to bring a most compelling afternoon to a halt.
Both teams turned out in specially designed shirts – and two are being raffled over the next week in support of MNDA and Lewis Moody, the former England player who now has been diagnosed with the illness. To donate or purchase a ticket contact the club direct.
