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

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

Edwards Ten years from now, we will look back on this season of Junior Rugby, and a smile will appear on our faces why? Not because we lost all our Independent School games, or had a small number of boys (21) to choose from. Certainly not because we lost Sam Price, a good athlete and player, who broke his leg early in the season. The smile will appear because we will remember this crowd of boys for their enthusiasm for the game. Never did they complain if they lost. Not once did they backdown from in- variably larger opponents. In every game the lads played, compliments were extend- ed to them about their tremendous desire, commitment, sportsmanship and tenacious tackling. This may not be the most talented crowd of rugby players, but watch them! From them will emerge some players who will be the pride of the school. And smiles will appear again on our faces. Good luck boys in your future rugby. M.C. Felix P.D. Yates 30
