Cambridge outclass Barnes....

On a cold afternoon where I spent the first half of the afternoon with the sun shining directly at me, or with heavy storm clouds lowering and threatening, Cambridge beat Barnes by 62-15. In a game which was initially tipped towards the hosts when the Barnes wing threequarter was required to spend 10 minutes kicking his heels in the sin-bin whilst Cambridge racked up three quick tries.  Thereafter there was no way back for the unfortunate visitors

Remember, remember...

A select group of Cambridge Camera Club members chose to ignore the weather forecast this evening to photograph the annual Festival of Fire in Cambridge.  We were rewarded with a very mild and dry evening and a fine display of fireworks.
