The man to whom we all owe so much<br />
Therefore two recent visits to<br />
South Wales were especially<br />
encouraging as both West<br />
Wales Raiders in Llanelli and<br />
Torfaen Tigers in Cwmbran<br />
appear to have negotiated<br />
excellent agreements with their<br />
local councils for long term<br />
leases on chosen venues. Oh<br />
that the <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong> could be the<br />
beneficiaries of such largesse!<br />
17<br />
all the associated benefits of<br />
access to facilities and revenue<br />
streams then you are very<br />
vulnerable to the whims of<br />
others.<br />
I had the great pleasure<br />
recently of attending the<br />
Cheltenham Primary Schools’<br />
Touch tournament at the<br />
Folley and what a splendid<br />
occasion it was. It was a great<br />
joy to see some 28 teams of<br />
boys and girls “playing the<br />
ball” in the traditional and<br />
magnificent fashion. The<br />
beautiful weather and very<br />
professional organisation<br />
provided the perfect<br />
backcloth to a memorable<br />
day. Congratulations then to<br />
Dan Garbutt and all his staff<br />
including many impressive<br />
undergraduates of ours.<br />
<strong>Final</strong>ly similar accolades are<br />
due to some of our young<br />
players of the future who<br />
have played so well for our<br />
CLS side this season. Both<br />
Mitchell Dent and Jack Uren<br />
are Bristolians and gained<br />
selection for England Colleges<br />
whilst Gloucester boy Luke<br />
Stephens and Callum Bradbury<br />
from Wolverhampton joined<br />
Jack in making their <strong>All</strong> <strong>Golds</strong>’<br />
professional debuts in victory<br />
at <strong>Oxford</strong>.<br />
