Dear We wish all the players in this weekend's Bish-Bosh derby all the best. It's been a very successful season for our teams, and we encourage everyone involved to respect the longstanding tradition so that we can end on a positive note, regardless of the score, and remember the encounter for all the right reasons. The 2009 and 1999 years will be making the pilgrimage back to Campus for their reunions this weekend. We wish them a wonderful time together and look forward to the photos and stories to come. Warm regards The OD Office |
