Just returned from four days in Germany with Kenny Baillie, and former Hawks Speedy,
Chippie, Steven Kidd and various other select players from clubs in the west. Baillie led
the team the Screaming Eagles to victory in this The Nuremberg 5th International Rugby
Tournament.
The team went through the two day tournament unbeaten giving rugby lessons to teams
from USA, Japan, Switzerland and Germany before beating the host club (who Speedy
used to play for) in the final.
Quote of the weekend was about Baillie from some of the Yanks \"He\'s like Maurice Greene man, but with moves and a ball\"!!!
