The historic moment was won by Anerley, who emerged victorious with 1 goal and 3 tries under their belt. The sheer weight of the ball itself adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene - a whopping 50lb that must have made for quite a challenge during gameplay.

It's a reminder of how sports have always been a source of entertainment and camaraderie throughout history, bringing people together in friendly competition.
