The Grudge Match

In 1996 I took Moog to his first rugby match at Twickenham - The Pilkington Cup Final between Bath & Leicester. In a close, tense match it was decided when the referee, Steve Lander awarded Bath a penalty try, which took them into the lead with minutes to spare.

Today we went to Leicester to see the re-match some 10+ years later, with the original players - some fit, some fat - and in an entertaining fixture played in wind, rain and snow - Leicester won 45 - 15.
