Contre-jour lineout

Another weekend, another parental visit. This time to Kent to see my mum & dad. Saturday lunch was spent with a hundred or so vice-presidents of the Dover Rugby Club before their last game of the season, against Maidstone. Dover are doing very well these days - I think I remember someone saying they've been promoted seven times out of the last nine seasons. The standard of play was remarkable - way above what I'd expect from a small provincial side. It was fast, physical and very skilful - I was very impressed. It was certainly too good for Maidstone, who were trounced by something like 33 to 3.

The lunch was pretty good too...
