THE SECOND XV The 2nd XV captured the Independent Schools Trophy for the first time out- right since 1975. The excellent record of the team was achieved as a result of the team possessing great character, excellent team spirit, a tremendous desire to win and a bastion strong defence. The team captained by Jack Colbourne started the season in fine fashion with a narrow win by 13-8 over York Mills from Toronto and went from strength to strength. Eight of the 2nd XV played for the 1st XV, with several more coming very close. Dean Unicume can count himself very unlucky not to have played for the senior team as he played well in every game. The highlight of the season was the 22-0 victory over St. George ' s in Vancouver in which we scored five unanswered tries. The final try was a classic with Stephen Hutchinson ghosting past the entire team before passing to Craig Powers who scored under the posts. The back row of Marc Strongman, Andrew Wooldridge and the ubiquitous James Fang were in constant support, with Wooldridge a master of ripping the ball from the maul. Tim Cameron scored several outstanding tries and should become a permanent fixture in the 1st XV for the next two years. The front row of Cam Wright, John Atkinson and Ian Mackay all played at least one game for the 1 sts and formed the nucleus of a very good pack. The loss to the S.L.O.B.S. came after an extremely arduous match against the huge Brentwood team which we tied 0-0. Had we played them when we were fresh and able to play our strongest team, I ' m sure the result would have been quite different. The one disappointing note of the season was our loss by a single point in the final seconds of the final game to our arch enemies, Brentwood. The strength of Scott Pahl and Chris Adderson in the second row was a great asset with Pahl kicking several crucial penalties. Much will be expected of him next season. Brian Spagnol was a versatile player who played in all three rows of the scrum and what he lacked in size he more than compensated for with his skill and enthusiasm. The strong, hard pack were well balanced by our fleet footed backs with Charlie Atzesberger, Jim Elliott, Kevin Senior and Graeme Vaux always eager to run the ball. In closing I would like to thank every member of the team who made my first season at Shawnigan so memorable. 2ND XV RESULTS vs York Mills vsSMU vsSt. George ' s vs Cowichan vsSMU vs S.L.O.B.S. vs Brentwood vs St. George ' s vs Brentwood P9 W6 (H) W (A) W (H) W (H) W (H) W (H) L (H) D (A) W (A) L Dl L2 108-65 13-8 7-8 14-4 16-6 14-0 16-32 0-0 22-0 6-7 J.L.
