A huge congratulations this week go to Ben Comer of Helsby's 1st XV, who on Wednesday played for the England Police RUFC Masters side in their match against the Great Britain HM Prison Service National Team at Kingston Park, home of Newcastle Falcons.
Played in swirling winds and with constant rain, the game was a midfield slugfest and a surprisingly high-scoring affair considering the conditions. Sadly for Ben and his team-mates, the GB HM Prison Service ran out the winners, with the final score 37-29, however, we're delighted to report that Ben has been invited back to play again for the team.
Well done Ben!
