And so it was that six years ago the largely British contingent of Musketeers decided to do battle with the largely French contingent of Pallanne. But rather than rub salt in old wounds the competition was renamed Water l'Eau. (Clever, yet simple at the same time don't you think?). Over the past six years the trophy has gone one way then the other. In this the bi-centenary year it was won quite comfortably by the Pallanne team. Had Napoleon's army fought as gallantly and as determinedly as the Pallanne team, perhaps the course of European history would have been different. You never know, Brits might well have learned to speak French!
Well done Pallanne. We'll be back!
