against Paarl Gym
final game against Rondebosch was
a closely contested match with a
narrow 5-10 loss, but the
improvement and development
across the board was evident. Well
done to all the boys and the
coaches Gavin Maasch and
Brandon van der Westhuizen, for a
passionate effort that displayed
much sportsmanship.
U14C by Phil Court
It was a difficult season in the U14
Cs (known as the ‘C Turtles’) this
year due to the shortage of boys
playing rugby (although you would
not think so looking at the long list
of boys who played in the team
over the course of the season). If it
was not for the boys who play
hockey joining us, we would not
have been able to field a team
each Saturday! Nevertheless, the
boys had lots of fun practising and
playing rugby under the watchful
and supportive eyes of coaches
Boutros Mbina (affectionately
known as ‘Spoon’) and Tom
Liefeldt. Each boy improved as a
player during the season, had his
moment or two ‘in the sun’, and
never gave up. The highlights of
the season: Alessio’s warm-up
screams and beating RBHS in the
away game!
