EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling Rugby Union season of 1972/1973. The image captures a momentous match between Cambridge University Past and Present and the formidable Barbarians team. Amidst the intense action on Grange Road, Peter Brown of the Barbarians fearlessly charges forward with possession of the ball. His determination is matched by Fran Cotton and Gordon Brown, who provide unwavering support from either side. The significance of this game goes beyond mere competition; it was played in honor of Cambridge University's rugby club centenary. As such, emotions ran high as players showcased their skills in tribute to a century-long legacy. This particular photograph immortalizes an exhilarating instance where camaraderie meets athleticism. Paddy Hinton, representing Cambridge University, can be seen valiantly attempting to thwart Peter Brown's advance as prop for his team. The intensity etched on their faces reflects the fierce battle unfolding before our eyes. Colorsport / Colin Elsey has masterfully captured this historic moment through his lens, allowing us to relive a time when rugby united communities and celebrated sporting achievements without commercial motives overshadowing its essence. This evocative print serves as a testament to both individual prowess and collective spirit that defines Rugby Union - reminding us why it continues to captivate hearts worldwide even decades later.
