A Very Special Mascot

I was so proud that straight after Saturday's match the first team were more than willing to delay a well-needed shower and pint to pose for a photo on the pitch for a very special young man... Murray. He is visiting from Canada for just 12 days and wanted to be the team mascot for the day. Murray had even bought an official CRFC t shirt to wear in their honour! That tough team clearly has a soft side too! Pam Hammond
