Overnight thunderstorms and a soggy 0900 hrs start
did not dampen the spirits of those competing in the
2009 VT Inter Corps Tens held at Aldershot on 16 September
2009.

It was clear from the first kick-off that a number of teams were determined to de-throne the Royal Engineers who have held considerable sway at Corps and Army level rugby for the past three seasons. The Royal Artillery looked very sharp against the Infantry but it was
the Royal Logistics Corps, albeit denuded of some key
players, that produced the first shock of the morning.
Led by veteran Army player Andy Geary the RLC produced
a powerful forward display that rocked the Sappers 12pts-3
and then (Lord Kitchener look away now) they went down
to the Gunners.

Reaching the VT Final came down to points difference. The Sappers needed to score five tries against the Infantry in their final league game to rescue a place in the final-and that is just what they achieved to set up yet another ding-dong battle against an undefeated RLC side that must have thought it was their day. |
