RUGBY IN ST. MARY’S COLLEGE CSSpWell as we come to the end of anextraordinary year in all our lifetimes, wehope that both the Senior and Junior Cupsare played for the Season 2020/21. A once in100-year pandemic hits us in early Springand sends us all home from school on the12/03/2020. We are faced with no furtherskill development for the last school term,no specific weights sessions to build up theboys. Instead, we are faced with many Zoomsessions led ably by our Head S&C LukeO’Dea to try to occupy the SCT and JCTSquads of this season plus indeed theremainder of the School Rugby Programme.It worked reasonably well but nothing couldreplace the hard work carried out in the gymon any day you choose. Boys were givenindividual running programmes and onceagain nothing compares to working ingroups where the competition is intense inSenior and Junior Cup Groupings. Alas wegot something of a reprieve in mid-summerwhen the lock down was lifted. It allowed usto prepare for Pre-Season in early Augustand upcoming games in early Septemberand beyond. Sadly, we only got to play threegames, the Seniors playing the Club Under20s side and the Juniors playing two fixturesagainst Gonzaga, three wins were notchedup and the future looked bright. Then anescalation of the Covid-19 cases occurred,and we had to stop playing immediately, nocontact followed in sessions but at least wewere allowed to continue to train. Trainingsimply looks like it should, pods of 15including coaching staff working on skills,conditioning themselves through games butnot the same obviously as normal rugbysessions.As we approach December, we are allextremely optimistic that we will revert toLevel 3 minimum and that contact trainingand games can commence. Level 2 would beideal but not looking probable given a smallincrease in the daily rates of Covid and sadlysome deaths after significant reductionssince a return to Level 5 a month ago. I amextremely optimistic that Cup campaignswill occur after Christmas, they might be putback a little, might be run off over a shorterperiod, might be played behind closed doorsbut I think everyone behind the scenes isSCT warm up ahead on the roadside pitch of friendly with the Club’s U20’s.91
