RN Men seek Vengeance on Vikings

The Royal Navy Men head to the capital tomorrow looking to avenge their last minute defeat in the thriller that turned out to be the last Royal Navy match before the Covid pandemic. The last time the two sides met in March 2020 the match was a topsy turvy 12 try thriller which was decided with the last kick of the game after the Navy gave away a needless penalty. The 38-39 scoreline reflected the attacking intent from both teams and spectators at tomorrow's event will either be hoping for more of the same! With the Royal Navy Inter Service squad due to be announced soon it will be a last chance saloon for players to demonstrate that they are the calibre needed to win against the Marin...
