Oxford Cavaliers - Pictures from College Bowl XV |

 |
Once again I present to thee pictures of the Oxford Cavaliers victory over the Loughborough Aces in College Bowl XV, played at Saffron Lane in Leicester on the 25th March, 2001. Once again click on the thumbnails to see full sized versions each of the pictures. For those interested, I'm still wearing my brothers helmet (white with the US flag sticker on the back) and I'm wearing #63, one of the only shirts large enough to fit over my vast shoulder pads and neck roll. Again, these pictures are free for anyone who so wishes to download. Most were taken by my mother and brother. |
