Ode to Alton U13s by Lucien Bartram
Touring against fists and shallow tip tackles
Camaraderie of the maturing team
Hard hitting boys, no fear for us
Do your worst we still have our dream
To ruck and maul, to pass and run, winning
By hook and by crook, any way we know how
Waterlog’d pitch, mud and wind singing
It will not stop us until we stand stout
Against opponents beaten in honourable rout.
