Or to be more accurate, lack of them. Going through an old bag I came across this teamsheet l had written. There was also a map of the area around the Leeds ground pinpointing The Original Oak !!
There are one or two big names or relatives of them. Anyone have any recollection of the game ? I don't even know who the opposition was or when it was, must have been some time ago. Many thanks.

According to Statbuker: Joe Carlisle seems to have been at Old Elthamians for 2017 until 2019. Henri Lavin was at tigers in 2017, Loughborough in 2018 and Lions in 2019, then Leeds.

Believe there may be 4 former Jersey Reds players there - definitely Elliott (currently at Falcons) Flynn (went to Sarries, now back with Ampthill) and Humphrey (lost track). And maybe Thom Smith in the back row, he was at Tigers & I don't believe has played since the demise of the Reds.
Maybe it was a Baa-baa's or Crawshay's or other representative side or for a benefit - 'spect someone will know.

Thanks all who have replied. Perhaps it was true Rugby in those days, not the commercial suicide it is now.
