He was a member of the world cup team in 1987 and 1991 and toured with Martin Johnston's
victorious British Lions team in South Africa in 1997.

The "Tony Johnston" Charity Shield Competition

The competition took place between an array of Banwell teams and guest teams from as far away as Stratford on Avon
After a series of four "Round Robin" games, the result could not have been closer
Alan Vickery and his team achieved a narrow victory over Phil Villis and his team. Both teams had the same
number of points at the end but the winners had a better "Plus Shot" figure and took the shield

Congratulations to the winners, commiserations to the runners up,
and thanks to everyone who took part in the competition

Everyone I talked to said what a good day it was, and how much they had enjoyed themselves. And as Captain Kim said "These things do not just happen" So a BIG BIG thank you to the scores of people who worked hard behind the scenes, to provide everything which went towards this perfect day. You are too numerous to mention, and the services you provided are too numerous to mention. But well done everyone.

And then there was:

Two of Banwell's members, Mike Amos and Terry Byrnes experience
what it is like to be blind and depend on a guide dog to get around

After everyone had gone home we discovered a pair of shoes sitting forlornly on the side of the green. After extensive enquiries nobody claimed them, so if you see a lady
(We think it is a lady, but who knows!!)
tell her where they are
