We then went to an all -Ontario 15 aside Rugby competition at York University. But we went down into defeat by scores of 3-6 and 3-13. Ian Hyde -Lay kicked both penalty goals. Now we went to sevens full of high spirits at the ISAA tournament at S.A.C. We won 3 games and the championship with scores of 24-0, 14-6, and 14-0. We played against U.C.C. A and B teams and S.A.C. in the finals. During the season we played 3 games against a local High School and won each contest. i 1 P 1 t , jy ' ' r ■ . ' ;J( J ...S S i The reasons for our successful season this year were a well balanced team, with powerful hard-working forwards and quick efficient backs as well as a very competent coach. Out team was led by the constant example of high spirit and enthusiasm shown by Paul Crosbie our captain. Our thanks to Mr. Larsen for a most enjoyable and benefiting season and to Mr. Day for his successful 7 aside coaching and to the players from the higher teams who came down to play with us. Also to those players who always showed up to practise but saw little real action.

Junior Rugger Team We began our season on April 25th against a U. C.C. team. We lacked some experience but made up for it by constant drive. As the game wore on we gained momentum and were victorious at the end of 60 minutes by a score of 9-4. Our next game was against a group of bearded 15 year -olds from Fenton School. Due to a deficit in size we lost by 13-0. We travelled to U.C.C. with some added punch to our backs in the form of Mike Rosseel who scored 2 tries and led us to a victory of 16-8. We had a return match at home with Fenton and came up on top with a score of 23-6. The main reason for our success was the help from John Slattery and Mike Milner, two under 15s from Open and Ian Hyde -Lay and Mike Rosseel. From Senior, Slattery I scored 3 tries in this game.

Tennis Team The tennis team suffered severely this year from a lack of experienced players. There was an abundance of spirit but such little experience that the Appleby team placed fifth in the I.S.A.A. tournament. In the regular season it won two matches, lost two and tied one. Peter Taylor was captain of the team of six. He was only in grade ten and as with several other young players will help create a much stronger tennis team in the future. Hopefully, Mr. Abbott ' s coaching and support will then bear fruit. RBEBBM FRONT ROW: Browne, Machan, Taylor, Cannon 1. BACK ROW: Caird, Wang, Paterson. a ' Su ' Ti . :- -. rv - vA -xi: ;. . . ;:
