within the opponents 25 yard line. Credit should go to Greg Lukenbill, Doug Torrie, Roger Hope and Alberto Girotto for their excellent running and tackling. Other players had a good season as well but lack of experience showed through. David Hyde-Lay (Captain) JUNIOR B XV This year the Junior B games went mostly downhill. We won only two games out of five. We beat Glenlyon and David Thompson but lost against Brentwood, St. George ' s and St. Michael ' s. We had a fairly good scrum but sometimes they wouldn ' t be there to back up the line. Apart from that our scrum was very strong. Our line wasn ' t very good at the beginning of the season but got better. They tried very hard but sometimes ran straight or knocked the ball forward. I should like to thank the Junior B . We started well and all tried very hard. Jorge Albert (Captain) The final was all Magee as they dominated Brentwood in all phases of play and came out fairly easy winners, 18-3. They played superb Rugby and were in peak form. They thus retained the trophy, the Woodward Shield, they won last year. The tournament was a success and much enjoyed by all. We benefited from the four matches we played and some very attractive Rugby resulted. We played especially well against St. Michaels; with forwards and backs alike combining with flair and imagination. B.C.H.S. Fall Rugby Tournament For the first time in its relatively short history, this tournament was played on the Island and we at Shawnigan were the hosts. A ferry strike seriously affected the entry but nevertheless twelve teams were entered. These were divided into four groups which played off amongst themselves to produce four group winners to advance into the semi-finals. By winning both of its group A matches 17-0 over Nanaimo and 23-0 over St. Michaels, Shawnigan joined Brentwood, Magee and Burnaby South. In the first semi-final we were beaten 6-3 by Magee (2 penalty goals to 1) in a game in which Magee had the edge in play but were unable to force home any kind of advantage against our very stout defense. Brentwood had their hands full in the other semi-final, but scored late in the game to defeat Burnaby South 6-0. In the battle of the losers for third place we beat Burnaby South 14-7, jumping to an early lead with three fine tries by our wings, two by Brad Jones and one by Andrew Balshaw. However the bigger Burnaby team applied the pressure in the second half, and, keeping us penned in our own half for much of the time, narrowed the scoring gap by kicking a penalty goal and scoring a try in the dying moments of the game. RUGBY POSTSCRIPT Although the overall school record on the rugby front may not have been as good as some in recent years, it was achieved under the leadership of some excellent captains. These boys, of varying degrees of rugby skill and knowledge, fulfilled their duties, both on and off the field, as well as one could wish and made certain that Shawnigan ' s reputation for sportsmanship and fair play on the rugby field remained untarnished. Foremost of these boys must be Tom Trafford, Captain of the 1st XV. Not an exhorter of troops from the rear, but rather, a leader from the front, Tom never played poorly and set a splendid example of tireless work for all to follow; not big, nor fast, nor strong, he put his talents to their best use and surprised many by his elusive running, his nose for the ball and his overall courage. Tim Dewhurst, Captain of the 2nd XV, had the always unenviable task of leading a team from which the 1st XV frequently borrowed its best players. In fact, he never had the same team under him for two consecutive games. He cheerfully accepted this as his lot and carried out his duties with the fatal resignation of one who knew that there must be better days ahead. The other captains, all of whom one would quite happily reappoint if a new season were to start tomorrow were: 21
