JBPL at the Steele Bodgers

JBPL at the Steele Bodgers

On Wednesday 30^th November the JBPL Team attended (and thoroughly enjoyed) the 74^th Steele Bodger Match at Cambridge University Rugby Club.

Mickey “Steele” Bodger was an international rugby player who represented England and Harlequins. After a career ending injury, he remained heavily involved with the rugby community, and was a long-standing President of the Barbarians Football Club and a British and Irish Lions Selector. He established the first ‘Steele Bodgers Match’ in 1948, where he formed an invitational team to play Cambridge University as their final warm-up game before their annual match with Oxford University. This was a huge success and has become a notable event in the rugby calendar ever since.

JBPL sponsored a table in the marquee, and we were joined by clients and friends from: Bloor Homes; Denbury Homes; Cannon Consulting Engineers; CSA International and Taylor Wimpey.

The day was filled with great company; much laughter; excellent food and many drinks’ and of course an exceptional rugby match. Cambridge University Rugby Club came away with a 36-26 victory over the Steele Bodger XV side. Congratulations to all involved for such a great day!
