All together now – the annual community day which doubles as a highly social Battle of the Bridge produced one perfect result last weekend. Hautapu and Leamington’s over 45 veterans fought out a 10-all draw to share the Bull Shirt Trophy.
Justin Bunting and Ray Stowers grabbed tries for Hautapu and Charles Kinner scored twice for Leamington.
It was a close call in the Over-30s clash between the clubs for the Battle of the Bridge trophy, named in honour of the late Deon Mita and Dave Finlay.
Leamington get to keep the trophy for another season after winning 21-19.
