RHCC T20 & End of Season Awards

Building on its success over the last couple of years, we held our end of
season Intra-Club T20 extravaganza and awards evening on Saturday
1st October. It was fantastic to see three teams totalling 34 players,
captained by Craig Burns, Nathan Gee & Ronnie Gill, compete for
the bragging rights in this, our final game of the year. The support
for this game from so many playing and social members demonstrated
once again the strength of the RHCC both on and off the field.
