EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the raw energy and intensity of a Rugby match between Cornwall and Japan is captured, transporting us back to the autumnal afternoon of 4 October 1986. The scene is set on a lush, green grass field, where two teams, dressed in contrasting stripes, clash with unyielding determination. The Cornish team, with their distinctive black and gold hooped shirts, are seen in the foreground, their focused expressions and determined body language conveying their readiness to engage with their opponents. In the background, the Japanese team, in their red and white vertical stripes, charge towards the goalpost with equal fervor. The ball is in play, and the tension in the air is palpable, as both teams strive for dominance. The spectators in the crowd, dressed in an array of colors and hats, are on the edge of their seats, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement, anticipation, and anxiety. The photograph captures the essence of the game, with its raw power, speed, and unyielding spirit. The 1980s setting is further emphasized by the absence of modern technology and advertising hoardings, leaving the focus solely on the players and the game itself. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Rugby and the passion it inspires in its players and fans alike.
