Certainly this report is not intended to be one of those "but they showed lots of spirit" type of excuse report. The bottom line was simply that the team won on game in the season, and were outgunned in virtually every game in terms of weight, height and speed. Despite my despairing at times, I grew to respect this group of boys as the season continued. They continued throughout to keep coming out to practice enthusiastically, to train hard, to take all the "Pine lanes" I gave them (and more!), and to keep on believing that they would win every match they played. From this coach's point-of-view, it was certainly humbling,and a learning experience. Ofcourse there were the highlights! Obviously the win against Westville, the close run against Glenwood and even DHS,when a goal in the dying minutes finally put the game beyond reach.Even the match against College showed tremendous character. It was rewarding to see their progress and even their growth in self-confidence as evident in their genuine disappointment when the Michaelhouse game was called off. My genuine thanks, then to this team,no tjust for your unexpected gift at the end of the season, but for everything during the season.I feel a special affinity for the boys who played in the U16B's because we went through so much together. I hope you have learnt as much as I did. A.L Knowles. UI6C Captain:K.Kusel Regular Players: E. Yiannakis; G. Nelson; I. Georgakopoulos; B. Hendry; S. kokarev; R. de Rauville; G. Jollands; R.
