Islanders and holidaymakers were drawn to the three pitches by the Oyster Box in huge numbers as the event, nearly a year in the making, ended with tired, slightly battered, sometimes bloodied, but enormously satisfied players having helped raise funds for Holidays 4 Heroes Jersey as well as boosting the profile of junior rugby.
With the Lieutenant-Governor, Lieutenant-General Andrew Ridgway and Holiday’s 4 Heroes’ ambassador Matt Banahan among the special guests, the feel-good factor shone through as Beeches RFC, having triumphed 5-3 in the five-a-side final over United Banks, collected the main award through captain Paul Cryer.
