Leamington Rugby Club record holders back together
It was reunion time at Leamington Rugby Club earlier this month when their all-conquering mini and junior rugby team of the early 1980s got together again.
The reunion was organised by John Lyons, the club historian, who has written a book on the club’s history with some remarkable old photos.
It is 30 years since the team set a world record for the longest unbeaten run by a rugby team between 1980 and 1984, going 92 successive games without defeat.
