Burgess, P. Silcock, D. Higano ond row but those concerned, Doug de la Nuez, Xander Allison, Christian Matter, and Joel Scott accounted well of themselves. Cam Roberts had an outstanding season at number 8 and the two flankers Tim Campbell and Andrew Laing were a menace to most opposition. In the backs Tomo Akiyama provided steady service to Steven Quinn who directed the backline movements extreme- ly well for a first year fly-half. Troy Dennison is a very ex- citing and skillful inside-centre who played extremely well throughout the season. Outside Troy was Mike Dolman a very strong running center. On the wings were two newcomers Grant Bell and Charlie Kryvenchuk. Grant was very steady under the high ball and a deceptive runner, while Charlie was a speedster when the spirit moved him. Richard Pyke, playing up a level, made a tremendous amount of pro- gress often showing signs of brilliance. Richard will most certainly be a force in the years to come. Naturally having a winning season makes coaching a more rewarding ex- perience and this year is no exception. I look forward to watching the progress of all of this years Colt ' s players in the seasons to come. Congratulations to Cam Roberts, Col- in Creuzot, Tim Campbell, Troy Dennison, Andrew Laing and Richard Pyke for their selection to the Junior Indepen- dent School ' s team. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Sarsfield and Mr. Fernandez for their time, expertise, and their enthusiasm. Good luck to all you players in your senior years. M.R. Hall 27

COLTS A A most successful year for the entire Colt ' s group. The Colt ' s A continued their winning ways, losing only one Indepen- dent school ' s match. The Colt ' s B turned in a number of very fine performances, winning more than their share of contests, and the Colt ' s C , coached by Mr. Sarsfield, accounted very well of themselves, particularly in the nar- row victory over S.M.U. This year ' s Colt ' s A team, under Andrew Laing ' s cap- taincy, was in the fortunate position of having a number of talented and experienced players. As well, four of our new boys, Colin Creuzot, Grant Bell, Charlie Kryvenchuk and Doug de la Nuez earned starting positions and more than adequately met the demands of their respective positions. Joel Scott and Christian Matter provided the necessary depth in the forwards and Xander Allison ' s versatility helped fill in the occasional gap in the backs . The backbone of all suc- cessful teams is the tight five. Paul Hill and Colin Creuzot were very solid and steady props and Hamish Nixon ' s hook- ing was consistent. We were never quite settled in the sec- Top Row: (L-R) Mr. M. Fernandez, C. Creuzot, X. Allison, G. Bell, D. de la Nuez, J. Scott, R. Pyke, C. Kinderchuck, C. Matter, S. Quinn, Mr. M.

As in most years, the Colt C ' s started the year slowly and the outlook wasn ' t very bright. As the team practiced and worked together, things began to take shape. With a loss to start the season, though, no one thought that things could get better. We suddenly began to get as a team and realized that we had the potential to steadily climb uphill. Our powerful front row consisted of Bart Straw and Bran- don Swan with Michael Miskulin booking. Great improve- ment was shown on the parts of Ian Gee, Saeid Jamshidi and Stuart Ho, who soon began to work as a team. We also had hard working players like Richard Amery, Stephen Whitehead and Wade Bruntjen, who always gave 100% in all aspects of the support. A late arrival to our team, Scott Shaver, was a very powerful addition for us. Of course, we couldn ' t have done anything without the help of our coach, Mr. Sarsfield! Well Done! Alex Poulios 28
