All teams should be congratulated for agreeing to play in the ice and snow and after four hard fought games, Vincent’s Club’s captain Peter Wright’s try was enough to secure victory over Hertford College in the fading light. Over 90 players and supporters celebrated afterwards in the Iffley Road pavilion and Vincent’s Club.
