R&DFC v K*ttering - post OG's match Sunday ;-)
Do they still play British Bulldog in schools? (probably not allowed now due to Health and Safety). When played on grass that wasn't too different.....lots of ripped shirts/ties/trousers as I recall.
[Update] Having checked Wikipedia (the fount of all knowledge ;-) )- "The game is characterised by its physicality often being regarded as violent leading it to be banned from many schools, although this trend is now being reversed"
