The Battle of Agincourt. What better way to spend a St George's day afternoon than watching the English beat the French at Agincourt.  Seen here on the first team pitch of Morley RUFC.  I do think we only won because besides infantry, we also had bowmen and artillery and there were only half a dozen French present.  Final score: one-nil to the away side.
