Sanford " Sandy" Woodard (Founding member)

But it isn't just the winning nor the scoring, nor the cheers, it's the
friendship and the memories that last you through the years. It's the
camaraderie that's born of valour not of fame; it's the sheer exhilaration
when you play the running game. (Peter Fenton)
