the coacbes, Messrs. Jordaan and Sieberhagen,
enjoyed the rugby.
Tbe B team, too, was affected by illness and by
players being taken into the A team as a result of
illness there. This group's main weapon was jts
back line which, on occasion, moved attractively.
Messrs. Sieberhagen and Jordaan are thanked
for the bard work put into the coaching of these
two teams.
The Under 14C team was affected by withdrawals
in the A and B teams, and so was tbe D
team, which bad a number of friendlies arranged
for it. But it is to the credit of the players tbat
altbough winning only a small proportion of the
games, their morale remained reasonably high
throughout.
Many boys in tbis group were completely new
to rugby at the beginning of the season, but by
the middle of the third term team performance,
as measured by frequent clashes with S.A.C.S.,
had definitely improved; and several individual
players bad shown clear evidence of progress in
their understanding of the game, besides playing
it with greater vigour and enjoyment. In the light
of the above facts, 1966 can hardly be said tohave
been altogether unsuccessful.
Sincere thanks are due to Mr. Bromberger for
his enthusiastic coaching, whicb caused hjs team
to improve in spite of numerous difficulties.
The Under 13B players did not bave a very
successful season, but they did enjoy their games
and clearly showed that they had matured.
