Club Vs The Council Summer 1999

Friendly (ish) game to raise funds for Mayor’s Charity

Hove Rugby Club Vs Brighton & Hove City Council Summer 1999 before the start of the 1999-2000 season

In September 1999, the Club played a Charity Game against Brighton & Hove City Council. This was organised mainly by Tim Jones then of the Council but also an ex Hove player. Now, sadly passed.

As a season starter in September 1999, we held a charity game against Brighton & Hove City Council. This was the idea of Tim Jones from the Council at that time.

The Mayor of Hove (Councillor Jenny Langstone) did the kick off. The result is lost in the mists of time but I think that the Council won fairly easily.

Gary Henderson led the Council team – some 8 years (ish!) before he joined Hove.
