Bedlam

A nice quiet game of basketball to end the second term. That's what we thought, but how wrong can you be. Boarders at the Nelson College for Girls (St.Trinian's types all) obviously were out to secure revenge for something or other and the hostel staff was just as keen to employ a little mayhem on the battlefield. It was a no-holds-barred game featuring the toughest mauls of an international Rugby match and the gentler arts of some of the most brutal mat men. Goodness knows who won. The idea seemed to be "forget about the ball and get on with the game".
