One of the problems with both teams was the Inability or unwillingness of some of the players to practice hard at their skills. A reasonably successful season was characterised bythe strength in depth of the age group Rugby in the age groups is about learning the as a whole. The results of both A and B teams game, and too many ol the boys were too confident oi demonstrated how many of the other schools had theirabilities level, and consequently found the lessons caught up in size with our boys. As equality in size taught by deleat hard to handle.

Although We lost by a large margin it was pleasing to report that we only lost the second hall 15-3! A credit to our boys' perseverance in delence. Looking at the Wins. the A team's second half recovery against Jeppe was thrilling. although we put ourselves under pressure With needless errors Many of our other Winning scores were Under 16A Rugby much closerthan they should have been and we too often chose the wrong options.
