RUGBY
U15D
The season was a very successful one for the boys as they won eight of
their 11 games. Their passion and determination was evident this year and
they narrowly lost to Affies in the dying seconds of the game. A big thank
you goes out to the parents who have given up their time to come and
support the boys. It was a privilege to watch these young men grow and I
commend them on their hard work and determination to make this season
a great success. Their rugby futures look bright.

Mr B Mdutyana
U15E
The U15E team had a very productive season in which they put together
a pleasing set of results. Despite the many changes that had to be made
during the season, mainly due to injury, the boys in Red, Black and White
always played as a cohesive unit and never gave up. The record states:
played nine, won five, drew one and lost only three games. As the coach I
was extremely impressed with the development of the players and the spirit
that they displayed. It was rewarding to see players improve and enjoy
playing rugby. A special thank you goes to the parents of these boys who
were always present at matches and to assist where needed. I wish the
boys the best of luck for the future.

Mr J Lyons
U15F
This team is to be commended on the fact that most of the boys attended
practice until the very end. It was difficult to find opposition which was
mostly staggered. This side only won two matches but a strong spirit
emerged among the boys. It is hoped that they will play rugby next year.
