Derelicts

The Derelicts is a love letter to the social side of rugby union and what makes it such a wonderful sport. It’s a funny, sometimes surreal, collection of observations that can loosely be called ‘match reports’ chronicling the adventures and humour of a real veterans’ social rugby team and its individual characters, who are long past their sporting peak.The book evolved over several glorious seasons of sweaty, muddy and deluded endeavour and laughs. For those who played for the Derelicts, whatever standard of rugby they once achieved, this was some of the very best fun they ever had.
