Despite the fact that the team COUICI Will no matches during the first half of the season, their will to play never faltered. During the second half of the season we went without a match for four weeks, only to return and beat Fair- mont. More attention will be paid to the fixture list dur- ing the next season to ensure more home games for our side. Although the team won only one of their matches their spirit throughout the season was a deciding factor in making the game worthwhile. M.

Three boys turned out! However, with a little prodding and coaxing, more boys started coming to practice and by the end of the season we had as many as 22 players to choose from. The standard of our play improved steadily with each game and by the end of the season we were playing good, constructive rugby. Our backs were marshalled by Peter Herweg at fly-half. He is a neat, skilful player who chooses his options well. We used a number of permutations at centre, choosing from Tony Sutter, Jacques Beukman and Aubrey Miller. Our regular wings were Brian Ganser and Arlo Mitchell. Both played with great determination. At full- back we had Andre Adriaanzen, a veritable Gibraltar in the last line of defence! Chippie van Schoor played scrum-half in all the matches. He has a keen eye for a gap and his swiping runs often had the crowd on their feet. Our forwards showed admirable grit and determination. The front row, consisting of Michael Louw, Derek Ross and Marcus Elvin, scrummed powerfully. We used a 1.-:re N ff ......f . I 59 number of players to lock the scrum - with Graham Ross as the most regular player. Todd Morris, our Rotary student from New Mexico, played both lock and flank at times. Todd soon got out of the habit of tackling people without the ball and became a valuable member of the tearnlain Livingstone captained the side from the Nurnber Eight positiong a task he performed very efficiently. A number of players vied for the flank positions. Eric Ord and Andrew Wharton were the most regular, while Paul Johnson and Paul Bevan played the odd game. Gui' utility player was Gareth Qually, who played in almost every position - from full-back to lockl Most of the second teamers will still be school next year and many of them will be strong contenders for first team places. Finally, a word of thanks to our enthusiastic supporters. Even when we played away matches it seemed as if the Muizenberg spectators were in the majority! S. van Wyk

. jk, .Q .yr wl ' ,y .9 X UNDER XV RUGBY REPORT 1988 A raffle and cake sale organised by the under 15's early in the season enabled each player to own a rugby tog bag depicting the school crest with an individual number identification on each bag. This set the tone for the U-15 team of 1988 - to have a most successful season. We held a total of 30 practices throughout the season with a 980711 average attendance at each practice. This built a fine spirit among the boys as their skills developed with their confidence. Of the of- ficial fixtures, our team won 10 matches. The 3 early losses only strengthened the team's resolve. After a few positional changes, the players settled into new posi- tions with gusto, establishing a sound backline with a useful pack. Although beaten in the two friendlies ar- ranged against A LEAGUE sides CWesterford A and Sacs AJ, valuable lessons were learnt by playing against these more skilled sides. As our record shows, we can only improve our quality and style of play if we main- tain the same spirit, dedication and commitment next year. 4 Lost Simonstown A 04-16 Lost Bergvliet A 08-18 Beat Herzlia A 24-9 Beat St. George's A 26-8 Beat Voortrekker A 30-0 Beat St. Joseph's A 25-16 Beat Wynberg B.H.S.

The 40-0 win put the cherry on the top for this crackerjack side of 1988. The parental support, the pre- match warm ups conducted by Vernon Loker, the early fitness training by Marius Havenga and the enthusiastic encouragement, support and refereeing of Schalk van Wyk proved to be invaluable, and all contributed to the totally successful season.
