Sun, 2012-01-15

Bermuda Police Rugby Football Club (BPRFC) Chairman and Acting Superintendent Sean Field-Lament - George Duckett Memorial, Saturday January 14th 2012:

Under steel gray clouds that constantly threatened to darken and explode with thunder and lightening the Bermuda Police Rugby Club held the 38th Annual George Duckett Memorial Day at a muddy and sodden Police field in Prospect Devonshire.

The day’s festival of rugby started off with the 2nd team women’s game. The BPRFC women’s section has grown from strength to strength and the fact that the section was able to field two complete sides in one day is a fine testament to the organization and dedication of the ladies committee and the coaching skills of Anthony Fellowes.
