Just to remind everyone that Moseley represented GB at the Paris 1900 Olympics. Semi-finalists...........................eh! 3 teams took part France, Germany and GB (aka Moseley). We lost to France then didnt play Germany. We arrived one day played match and were back in the Prince Of Wales Moz next day.
This competition also had the first black Olympic gold medallist, Frenchman. France won the final and a picture of the scoreboard 27-17 I think is on wikipedia.
Anything else you want to know?!
Does the club house display the medal? I will be looking this very afternoon. Perhaps we should get it out to spur on Moz today(?!)
Just cant imagine the Premiership gang nowadays allowing Moz to travel London later in the year!!
Well what d'ya know...............France 27 Moz 8................but think of this half time 21-0..who outscored the opposition in the 2nd half......................and where have I heard this story in recent times. Today though no such trauma Moz 21 Bed 16. Wheres the guess the Score man?!

I don't want to further disappoint after you prediction being very close ( had it been the other way around). But I am that guess the score man, and some bugger from Bedford walked off with 250 quid on Saturday. And to add insult further he'd already won 35 quid on his own coach on the way here. Some people have all the luck.
