my dad ran for Portsmouth (B crew 1989) still amazes how easy they make it, and still makes me sad to know it will never ever happen again in its former glory, even people in my classes thinks its impossible especially when i say my dad did it, a humble cook

I watched this in the audience on my day trip in basic training I left the Royal Artillery  after 14 years two days ago its nice to see a trip down memory lane sad to see this has ended  

I've been to the Tattoo in Earls Court as a kid. The Field Gun Crews made it look easy. I didn't realise, at the time, just how tough and dangerous it was. Respect.

Greatest team sport, ever was the Devonport Doc in 85 and 86, some familiar faces, served with some of them  and a Devonport world record Oggie, Oggie, Oggie

Do you know what, another great
tradition ended in the name of cuts? I can remember waiting for the results to
come through to my ship. Went to Earls court to watch the event when I could,
blood & guts performances. Such a shame this was a showcase for the RN

Devonport Field Gun Doc 86 and 87, i know some of these lads and served onboard with one not so very young man now, when he was considerably younger., It takes over your life, morning, afternoon and evening. It has to be that way, otherwise people can get seriously hurt. Throwing large and ridiculously heavy metal objects around which doesn't take any prisoners, requires 100% commitment.

RIP Taff Deneefe, on the gun trail at 2:40 ya crazy Welshman

wow. what a weird and extravagant sports.
cant there be any sponsor be found, to let this tournament live on ??
