Best Match for Witney

Favourite match: 1sts v Milton Keynes (League) 1997, WON 11-10

"great vibes, exciting match, ball in space, things went right, nice try." Having played in the game it was exiting as we were desperate for points to give us a lifeline to stay up. Gus took his try in typical fashion, running straight and breaking a number of tackles ….. it wasn't enough to keep us up though !
