EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of a historic rugby match. The image showcases two legendary figures from London Welsh Rugby Union team - Jim Shanklin and Elis W. Williams, during the 1972/1973 RFU Club Knock-Out Competition semi-final against Bristol. The photograph encapsulates the sheer determination and camaraderie shared between teammates as they fought for victory on that fateful day at Old Deer Park on April 14th, 1973. Jim Shanklin, with his unwavering focus, is seen being supported by Elis W. Williams in a moment frozen in time. Their faces reveal a mixture of exhaustion and passion; sweat glistening on their brows as they push themselves to their limits for the pride of their club. The intensity of the game is palpable even through the stillness of this printed image. As spectators gaze upon this remarkable piece of sporting history, it serves as a reminder of the dedication and sacrifice required to compete at such high levels. It immortalizes these two athletes who left an indelible mark on London Welsh's legacy. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey has masterfully captured not only an iconic moment but also emotions that transcend time itself. This print stands as a testament to both individual skill and collective teamwork that defines rugby union - a sport built on strength, strategy, and unyielding spirit.
