Title: Vintage Coronation Club Rugby
Post by: yetion1 on September 30, 2008, 09:28:06 pm
I have been educated by being told about the Coronation Club Rugby Team. i never knew they had a team apparently they had a rugby pitch where the allotments are now.
The medal you see is a Wembly final medal from 1937. It is owned by the only surviving payer.
