His fellow half-back our exchange student from New Zealand, Chris Costello, proved to be a very steady fly-back and imparted confidence to the other backs through his sound play in this most difficult of positions to play well. The other backs all ran strongly and defended well, especially Ian McPherson in the centre, while Damian Gough ' s play became consistently reliable by the end of the season. The wings scored some fine tries, particularly Matt Atkinson and Andrew Harke, both of whom are difficult to stop when in full flight. Bud Patel was very steady at full-back, sound under the high punt and ever ready to start a counterattack. This team, therefore, after our unimpressive record of the past two years, played with the style and discipline of some of the more entertaining Shawnigan sides of the past, making all the hard work just that much more worthwhile.

Flaxman The team had the potential to be Independent Schools ' Champions and certainly played at times as if they were. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the defeat of Brentwood by 37-0, all that had been practiced, worked! Also the team performance in the narrow loss to the S.L.O.B.S. was an excellent display of spirit and skill, each team member gave up at least 20 lbs to his opposite number. The team, most ably captained by Tim McGovern, was not a team of stars but one that believed in a combined team effort. Nine of the squad are in Grade Eleven, a factor which is bound to have a positive impact on next season ' s 1st XV. 26 Hillside W 11-0 SMU D 4-4 St. George ' s W 10-3 Brentwood W 37-0 SMU L 12-14 St. George ' s W 9-8 SLOBS L 14-15 Brentwood L 6-13 i.
