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

COLTS B Top Row: (L-R) Mr. M. Fernandez, M. Knight, J. Ross, D. Kuta, J. Bahl, S. Bowes, J. Scott, B. Jackson, C. Matter, D. Zybutz Bottom Row: (L-R) P. Dry, M. Vlahos, B. Kindrachuk, J. Brandon, G. 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

Tu The season began with many new faces of eager new Grade 9 students, many of whom has never heard of rugby football let alone played it. But after a great deal of hard work, tough training and skill acquisition the B squad was able to manage a 3 win 3 loss record. They were able to reverse an early defeat to Brentwood by 20 points to 6 into a come from behind victory at home of 12 points The scrum became a potent unit (after the ex- pert help of Mr. Davies on the scrum machine) with two fine hookers in Charles Smith and Mike Johnson. We had two ex- cellent line-out men in Ryan Mallory and James Payne who won a great deal of ball in the line-out and developed into fine runners. In the backs Jimmy Tin was fearless as was Mark La- mont at scrum-half who gave tireless efforts. Finally our Captain, Graeme Magee, controlled things well tactical- ly from fly-half and showed excellent kicking skills. Con- gratulations on a great season of improvement by everyone! P.J. Jarvis 29
