The ladies Team just keep getting better and better and keep making steady progress . They are an inspiration and credit to the Club . The junior section keeps going from strength to strength , so much so that we have our first Colts team which is a credit to Bert Cross and the rest of the coaching team .

members . Bob Johnston ( past president ) and Club legend instigated the veterans team and must take credit for the most outlandish attire the viagrians must wear when on tour . A Cravat , Panama hat and pipe are mandatory at all times ( except when playing a game ).”
