...spectators watched from every vantage point...
|
...line out ball was crucial |

DONATION & A WORD ABOUT BALTREX RK |
| OA's were surprised and impressed to learn that Baltrex, having had a 4 hour bus journey from their home town of Siauliai, had actually travelled longer to play the fixture than the OA's, and that this was their first ever fixture against international opposition.
On hearing this, the OA's, in a spontaneous gesture of goodwill to their rugby brothers in Lithuania, handed over ALL their playing kit to Baltrex rugby club. WELL DONE, Guys!
