A Bar Seven a Side rugby challenge competition. From LtoR:- Steve Bigbeerbelly, Steve Ward, Steve (I'm from St Helens) Smith, Dave Barton, Steve Backoheed, Pete Wozencroft, Nigel Bennet. Spectators watched on hoping for a try to be scored. When a try was scored both teams had to run to the touch line and drink a pint of fine beer. Games were divided into two halves of 8mins and no clean glasses were allowed. This game ended 27 - 24. How many pints of beer where consumed per player? Answers on a postcard to the sports editor please.


These two fine examples of Bingley sportsmen celebrate their Bar Seven victory after consuming many pints of beery mud. Thanks to the Pete Wozencroft collection for this image.
