Unusual Matches
In the late 70's a game of Rugby was being played on Top Field, which concealed the old World War II air raid shelters, long since closed up. During the game a maul was formed and the roof of the air raid shelter collapsed leading to the pile of players falling through the hole. After that the field was not declared playable until the shelters had been filled and reinforced.

Famous quotes containing the words unusual and/or matches:
“... it was not very unusual at Washington for a lady to take the arm of a gentleman, who was neither her husband, her father, nor her brother. This remarkable relaxation of American decorum has been probably introduced by the foreign legations.”
—Frances Trollope (1780–1863)
“No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
