Dale in the Pink

Thursday 24 Aug 2017

Where Queenstown has been below freezing this week, King has been above freezing, as high as a chilly 7°C.

The big Border trio – Dale, Queen's and Selborne – play each pother twice a year and it's always a grand occasion. In the their first meeting this year Queen's beat Dale on Reunion Day in Queenstown 25-24. One point but one point that mattered.

This last match of the season is a big one for Dale. It's the day when Dale wears pink and does its noble bit for the battle against cancer.
