At the weekend Broadland took to the field in an interclub tens tournament as both senior sides were left fixtureless when opposition called off games.
The rarely played ten-a-side games works on the same principle as the 15-a-side version but tends to provide a more open game. The winners are pictured.
Some of the club's younger players were appointed captains on Wednesday evening, with the brief to field a team on Saturday afternoon, before the Six Nations international matches were played.
In an afternoon of matches the side captained by Jake Sewell won the final, as they beat the side led by Ben Collins thorough some excellent use of the width of the pitch.
Player-of-the-tournament went to Brad Sutherland who had excelled.
A social event in mid-season was a welcome break from the league schedule.
