Bath Rugby 10.03.07

Big thanks to Alastair, who couldn't make it to see the Bath Rugby Union match vs the Northhampton Saints, so he kindly offered his tickets to us!

We headed to Bath on the train for the day, starting with a traditional Pasty at the Bakery before heading to the ground for the game.

The Bath side started the game strong, with numerous tries almost putting the Saints out of the game, but in tradional style, they let Northhampton back into the game. A good thing for us was that every try was scored at our end of the ground. The Bath lads held on for a 22 - 17 win which was a great relief for the home fans totalling about 10,000 people.

Scoring a Try!


A Streaker of sorts...

At half time a guy wearing a really bad red dress ran around the pitch to the crowds delight, and he was almost caught by the security staff chasing him. He did managed to evade them and hightail it over the boundary fence and into the crowd!

Overall we had a great day at the Rugby enjoying the Guinness on tap (along with ciders, ales) and a coffee at the local coffee shop to finish off the afternoon. As the cool breeze came in, we decided to head home for tea and relax after the game.

Lol sports games are much better when there is a streaker. Surprising that he didn't get caught but it must have been a funny site. Hopefully there will be some good ones at the World Cup this year!
