EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the archives, the two teams assembled at The Reddings in Moseley for the 1977 Sam Doble Memorial Match. The event was a testament to the enduring spirit of rugby union, as the game came together to raise funds for the family of Moseley and England full back Sam Doble, who had tragically passed away at the young age of 33 due to cancer. The Moseley team featured a formidable line-up, with C A Meanwell in goal, A Thomas and M K Swain on the wings, B J Corless and P Beddoes in the centres, and M J Cooper at fly-half. The forwards included T F Corless, G N Cox, W H Greaves, R Field, B Ayre, J C White, N C Jeavons, D G Warren, and substitutes Jan Webster, A Ripley, A G Faulkner, R W Windsor, and A Old. The International XV boasted an impressive roster of talent, with JPR Williams in goal for Bridgend and Wales, P J Squires and T G R Davies on the wings for Harrogate and Wales, and P Fenwick and A R Irvine in the centres for Bridgend and Scotland, respectively. The backs were completed by P Bennett at fly-half for Llanelli and Wales, and G O Edwards at scrum-half for Cardiff and Wales. The forwards included F E Cotton, P J Wheeler, G Price, W B Beaumont, A J Martin, T J Cobner, D L Quinnell, and A Neary, with substitutes yet to be named. This game is considered one of the strongest invitation sides ever to appear in Britain, as it featured many of the best players from the domestic and international scenes coming together to honor the memory of Sam Doble and raise funds for his family. The seventeen-match unbeaten Moseley side put up a valiant effort, but ultimately fell to the International XV in a closely contested match. The spirit of camaraderie and generosity on display that day remains a testament to the power of rugby union to bring people together in times of need.
