Then walking up the players tunnel to a floodlit, pitch-side drinks reception…There was definitely a buzz in the air!
Following the senior’s awards, RTR Pipe Major leads the masses to dinner.
Dinner is served…speeches, auctions, more special awards (Notably, Ironsides Centurions and a gift from RTR Regiment Sergeant Major to Ironsides) fun and games and general shenanigans ensued!
