Junior Boys' Rugby

On Tuesday afternoon the Junior Boys Rugby team played their first game of the competitive season against Claremont. Although we suffered a 17-0 loss, the boys played their hearts out until the very last tackle. Under challenging circumstances (sleeting rain and bone chilling cold) we came together with great team spirit. The team pulled through and are now all inspired to train harder and win the next game.  Although our Captain was out with an injury, James D and Sergey G not only led by example, making excellent tackles and going wherever they were needed, they also led with great spirit and kept our hopes up from the opening kickoff until the final whistle. The weather was far from idyllic, but our fans, shouted words of encouragement … even if many of them don’t fully understand the subtleties of the game.  Salomon GB, Whittall ‘16
