Grade 9 Rugby 1
Our rugby team had a successful season. Led by Captain and Energizer-bunny Lauchlin M, the group developed quickly, and was, by season’s end, an established outfit. Indeed, the coaches noted how enjoyable this team was, due to each player’s willingness to learn. At the Sevens, Peter D established himself as a prolific try-scorer who could out-swerve anyone. On the same day, Grade 8 stepper Rudolf K dazzled his way through defenders in a full-length try which was the season’s best.
Our XVs game against SMUS was another great day; we beat them emphatically on the back of smart play by Jack S, and the victory was doubly sweet on account of our heavy loss to them only weeks before. Another highlight was our defensive work; led by courageous Marcus H, the team snapped into line and snuffed out attacking opportunities. A final highlight was our last game against Shawnigan; despite miserable conditions, flyhalf Julian B attacked the line with urgency and set up several tries. Things are looking good for the rugby program.
