This film contains footage of a Hunslet Boys rugby team trip to France, possibly around mid-1970s. It has shots of a harbour, possibly in France, footage from the rugby match and from the training. The Hunslet Boys Club was established in 1940 by Dr. J. Wyllie as a way of offering young people the chance to improve their skills in areas such as sports, crafts, karate, and IT. It was an opportunity for recreation and friendship and the motto was "Fitness for Life".
The film opens with a rugby match being played. Three men are visible on a balcony looking down at the camera. A fourth man comes up behind them and jokes about with a rugby ball.
There is a harbour with lots of boats moored in it; on the surrounding land are large, modern-looking apartment blocks.
The men are on a beach with the apartments visible in the background. Next the team are practicing on a pitch.
There is a brief shot of some men with pipes, sitting and having a discussion.
The scoreboard reads 99:10 to Hunslet rugby team. Four people have their photo taken while some players jog around behind them. The team lines up for a group photo and there is a brief shot of a player with a plaster on his nose. Finally, the match begins.
