Bishops Platinum Blue 2018 full mag crop

6th XV
By Darryl Ndjadila
THE 6TH TEAM of 2018 had an impressive season,
despite the lack of weekly fixtures. The boys had a
good couple of wins and a few narrow losses to good
rugby schools.
The team consisted largely of Grade 11s who
illustrated a lot of maturity and leadership. What
impressed about this side was their effort during
practice and matches. The boys were eager to learn
and improve every facet of their game and had a
‘never-say-die’ attitude on defence. Ryan Campbell, as
the captain, created a conducive environment in which
working hard, learning and having fun, co-existed. Not
only was he inspiring, he displayed class as our team’s
pivot. Other notable individuals who were the ‘glue’ of
the 6th team were Hugo Janssen, Tom Byrone, Kyle
Elliot, Tristan Le Fluer and Simon Craig to name a few.
Credit must also go to Jason Hofmeyer for his skillful
work throughout the season in crafting appropriate
drills and his inspirational coaching style.
