THE JUNIOR COLTS RUGBY THE JUNIOR RUGBY The 1978 season was disappointing for a number of reasons but possibly the most important had to do with the number of boys available for play in the under - 15 age group. We had difficulty on several occasions just fielding fifteen boys for the A side. The B team had to be augmented by many over-age players and eager volunteers like Matthew Clarke. Another problem, less easily overcome, was that of spirit. Too many boys in key positions did not always give of their best in practices or games and the whole side suffered as a result. There were, nevertheless, several promising and keen boys in this group: Harley Ware, as captain and jack of all positions, was a strong player and a good leader who should soon be a star for Shawnigan; Sean McColl, as a courageous and deadly fullback, made the greatest improvement; Robert Halverson as a wing-forward was untiring in the loose; Larry Kaumeyer as captain of the B team was always an enthusiast and a worker. Next year augers well fcr the Junior Colts because many excellent players will be coming up from the junior group. T.W.S.S. This year Junior Rugby enjoyed one of its finest seasons. Unlike the past five years, the Juniors won all but two of their games and tied for first place with St. Michael ' s, for the best season ' s record. Perhaps the games most enjoyed by our players were those against Brentwood where we had much the better of things in every phase of the game. Our good results were due to several factors. Firstly, we had solid experience from second year players such as Jeff Hayes, Stephen Kaye, Mark Kriz, Garth McKenzie, David Schieldrop and Thomas Seeger. Secondly, many of our new players like Kevin Clark, Steven Evans, Ronald Girotto, Stephen Hutchinson, Ken Marr, Lawrence Sprangers and Chris Wright were great additions in terms of weight and natural ability. And finally, these boys and many others worked hard during our, sometimes long, practice sessions, perfecting their mauling, kicking, passing and tackling skills. Teamwork and team spirit were what really distinguished this year ' s team however and both the forwards and backs became effective forces in our attack, because each player was generally willing to share the ball and keep the play moving forward. Let ' s hope that next year ' s team does as well. C.W. -21
