Nelson College commemorating Nelsons

R0016033

game of rugby

R0016026

these lads have

R0015853

ever played I bet.

Oh and the result after a close match was Nelson 13 Christchurch 10.

A photo of a mud covered rugby player made the front page of the paper Friday too (unfortunately not one of mine though) and had an accompanying story.
