Performance sport is often decided in moments, not minutes.
A 1-point loss for Cardiff Met RFC vs Hartpury to close the BUCS Super Rugby regular season. A real game of two halves and a reminder of the fine margins that exist in performance environments. 🧵

Not a dry eye in the house when this was played at the end of the formalities at the @CardiffMetRFC 75th Anniversary Dinner tonight.
