A thunderous roar permeating through the hall, penetrating into every corner and crevice. We gazed up towards the source… atop the balcony stood Chairman Greaves…
…of course, the tickets had sold out long since, after our Super Social Secretaries Matt Kern and Elaine Paterson had worked hard to squeeze as many people as comfortably possible into the scenic Hughes Hall.
Yet still, the demand was "More!" - a first for Cambridge South.
The duck breast / mushroom wellington dinner itself was excellent as expected, as we wined and dined on our journey onto the highlight of the night: the awards ceremony.
"The Cambridge South Way…" John continued, as he walked down the stairs, gleefully reciting many of our glorious successes during the season…
…not least of which included our Ladies 3s and Mens 4s teams finishing top of their respective tables to become decorated champions and securing promotions.
