Minis & Junior Rugby at Esher & La Plata

Hi, my name is Simon Catnach. Neil 'Dogend' Harper, Ben Robinson, Charlie Beardmore and myself, have all reached or are about to reach our 60th Birthdays. Between us we have played for Esher Rugby Club for nearly a century, and it's only because we no longer boast a serviceable pair of knees between us that we aren't still pulling on the black and amber.

To acknowledge this milestone and largely in defiance of it we are taking on the challenge of a cycle ride .... well, quite a long one actually! We will be cycling from Viña del Mar in Chile to La Plata in Argentina or to put it another way, the Pacific to the Atlantic via the Andes. This will take us to a height of about 14,000 feet and cover a distance of just over 1,000 miles in just 2 weeks during November and December this year.

We would like to raise money for the Minis and Juniors at both Esher and La Plata Rugby Clubs having formed a strong bond with the Veteranos at La Plata over the years, and we would like to call on your generosity for these causes. The trip is totally self-funding, so all your contributions will go to helping the next generation of players at these two great clubs!
