The <strong>1966</strong> season has been a pleasant and successful one, seventeen teams having been entered in the inter-school competition while other teams, notably the Under 190, the Under 14D, the Junior First XV, the Under 11 and the Under 10 played a few specially arranged matches. Including the group of very young juniors, some 460 boys were catered for during the year. The best teams of the year were the Under 15A, the Under t3A and the Under 12A. The Under 15A team produced an excellent brand of rugby and scored 182 points, while only 34 were scored against them. An excellent, closeknitting pack of forwards provided a solid platform from which the bacldjne attacked strongly on all available opportunities. This team should in future provide excellent material for a strong first team. Only two matches were lost during the season; these were against R.B.H.S. and against S.A.C.S., but in a return match S.A.C.S. were beaten by 6 points to O. The Under 15A record for the sea- !:on is 13 matches played, 9 won, 2 lost, 2 drawn, 182 points for and 34 against. Mr. Lennox, a coach whose teams for some years have been among the best in their age group, is to be thanked for and congratulated on the excellent coaching of a team that played such attractive rugby this year. The Under 13A too had a very fine record. Of the 14 matches played they won 11, drew 2 and lost only I. They scored a total of 233 points and had 72 scored against them. The forwards played well as a pack but it was the fast backline that often caught the eye. A feature of this team was that on several occasions, with the final wbistle only minutes away, they found themselves trailing by 2 or 3 points. Against Paarl BH, O. F. Malan and Worce. ter, for example, much to the relief and joy of parents and other supporters, tries were scored seconds before the final whistle was due. Exciting moments such as these have made this season one to be remembered with pride and pleasure by spectator and player. Congratulations go to the team and their coach, Mr. Fair, for the good rugby and wonderful spirit engendered. The Under 12A team, too, bad a very good season. Of the 13 matches pLayed 8 were won, 3 were drawn and 2 were lost. 77 points were scored by tbe team and 27 points were scored against it. The speed with which the forwards, often lighter than their opponents, got into tlie loose scrums could be held up as an example to many a more senior player. The knowledge and skill of this team have done mucb to enhance tbe high standard of Wynberg Under 12 rugby. This standard redounds greatly to the credit of tbe coach, Mr. Pretorius. We wish Mr. Pretorius a happy and successful year while he is away on study leave during 1967. On paper, at the beginning of the season, this year's <strong>School</strong> Team did not hold out much prospect of developing into a combination of any merit, and this was amply borne out by a very weak series of performances during the first balf of the season. Many players were completely inconsistent in their form, and team-building presented an almost insoLvabLe problem. One main difficulty was that many players who were technically gifted were unable to stand up to the rigours of Under 19A rugby, and tbe other that too many team members were not prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to attain the requisite standard of fitness to be capable of achieving tbe standard of play expected of a Wynberg First Fifteen in the top-line Under 19A competition. Gradually, however, Mr. Oosthuizen, supported by a keen, fit nucleus headed by Probyn and Deane, managed to build up a workmanlike side during tbe latter part of tbe second balf of the season. This is a pleasing end to the story, but it is an arrant waste of the services of tbe best coach in Under 19A scbool rugby to present Mr. Oosthuizen with the Jatter problem for tbe major part of the season. B. Probyn and M. Deane, captain and vicecaptain respectively, played a large part in tbe ultimate success of the team. Both by their example and their unselfish and un tiring efforts they assisted in building a team whicb ended the season triumphantly. Its two best performances 59
