Under 16 teams
U16A by Warwick Richter
THE U16A TEAM of 2018 moved
up to this division with a reputation
of being a side to reckon with and
they managed to live up to the
expectations created by their

their strength in all the positions
allowed them to vary their game
and catch the opposition off guard.

opposition on the back foot on
numerous occasions and they were
able to gain ascendency and play a
good territorial game. This was

displayed an excellent set of
handling skills that allowed them to
