What a day! The Malvern Preseason Tournament on Sunday gave a real glimpse of the exciting rugby season ahead. Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen — the club committees working together, the coaches, managers, the volunteers and most importantly, the players.
Congratulations to the winners of our raffle. Chris Judd (Firewood) and Gee Harper (Meat pack).
