some invaluable "cleaning up" and support play. He was often on hand to putthe finishing touches to some move or other,and his play was characterised by sheer grit and de termination. The backs were also extremely effective. Ryan Hosking was a nippy and unpredictable scrum-half who was as ca pable ofsending his hacks on the way,asofdarting around the fringes and initiating a forward drive. Benji Hector proved to be a versatile fly-half with equal ability to play direct,send his line away,or to kick the necessary reliev ing touch finder. The centre pairing of Byron Parton and Greg Higgs was effective on both attack and defence,and the wings. Warren Verbaan and Duncan Bowen, were equally proficient when given the opportunity. Stuart Leitch,although new to the position,had a good season at full-back. Finally, I would like to thank the team as a whole for its enthusiasm, dedication and discipline, without which the season would have beenfar less successful.Mythanks also go to the parents and families of the boys whose support was as loyal as it was enthusiastic.

Theteam has been oneofthe mostdelightfulteamsto coach as they were keen to learn and played with great spirit. This resulted in their becoming a cohesive force towards the end of the season, and a very difficult team to beat. Cole played a very important part in the development of the team. His leadership of the team and his own game place him as one of the best captains I have ever had the pleasure of working with in 20 years ofcoaching under 13 rugby. From a very ordinary start the forwards developed into a very fine pack with a very solid base formed by the props, and well supported by the locks. The loose forwards be came a hard attacking group who, on obtaining the ball, would always makegood ground.In the line outs the locks gave the team plenty ofgood ball. The backs suffered with the loss of the sparkling play of the flyhalf Lemmer early in the season.The problem was solved by filling this crucial position by recycling a scrumhalf who developed into a fine distributing flyhalf. The three-quarter play then developed into strong,running, attacking rugby,coupled with good defence work-a win ning formula.

This group of enthusiastic die-hards enjoyed every single (nearly anyway) minute of their road to discovering the ins and outs ofrugby football. Mostofthese players expe rienced more than one position in the season so that mov ing from front row to wing was not a surprising change. Once again it was a pleasure working with a group of youngsters who showed great sportsmanship throughout the season despite big losses in matches. Like the boys,I am sure that we will remember this special time in our school careers. Regular players: Franz (grinchin), Lewis (Snake Eyes), Baxter (hobbly gook), Jollands (motor mouth).
