Alton Rugby Football Club

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.

Go back
