Roger Thompson Posted 25 December , 2014 Share Posted 25 December , 2014 At the annual Boxing Day Batley v Dewsbury match a wreath is being laid on the centre spot in commemoration of the 16 players from both clubs who paid the supreme sacrifice. After that then its back to the usual warfare. I think its a smashing gesture from both clubs. Roger. ps I was not sure which section to put it in.

Roger Thompson Posted 26 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 26 December , 2014 This was duly done with all the respect that required, unfortunately I did not have my camera with me. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMarsdin Posted 28 December , 2014 Share Posted 28 December , 2014 Hi Roger, Is that across all conflicts, 16 seems a very high number ? PS Who won ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 28 December , 2014 Share Posted 28 December , 2014 Steve.....we finished on the winning side, whilst the Germans didn't. Bear the above in mind when reading the rest of the Forum....it may explain a few things. It is just the sort of gesture that one would expect in REAL rugby.

Roger Thompson Posted 28 December , 2014 Author Share Posted 28 December , 2014 Sorry chaps I should have said WW1. Batley won 18-16, a very good work out for both sides, it was like the Christmas truce normally Batley and Dewsbury supporters don't mix, but they did on Boxing Day. You are correct Bruce. Cheers Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
