The Big Ship; Brigands on Tour

Portugues legenJose Mourino once said "No pressure. The bigger the ship, the stronger the storm. And I have always been in big ships. FC Porto was a big ship in Portugal, Chelsea was a big ship in England and Inter was a great ship in Italy."

Well, Paul Whittle is in charge of the biggest ship of all as Broadhalfpenny Brigands sail off to tour Porto on the 30-31 August 2025, playing two fixtures at Oporto Cricket & Lawn Tennis Club.

The two all-day matches will be played in 25-degree sunshine, with sumptuous port-filled lunches, and at a club that features an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts.
