Final 2009 rugby outing!

With the 2009 season behind and the excitement of the planning for 2010 just around the corner to look forward to, we take our last look at the season just past in the final section of The Huddle 2009.

Personally this last section of the season is my favourite. While it’s easy to pick best player, best try etc… these sections give a real insight to the important people in any school, and what they go through in a season.

“As it is a review of the year, I would like to reflect for a moment on those we have lost. For Prof Heyns and his wit and wealth of knowledge. He was a man that could prove that sport and following rugby were exclusively the’ means to life’ and we have missed his tremendous insight into this year’s rugby.”

We are fortunate to have top coaches designated to the Under 14 squad on a weekly basis. This makes a massive difference to the start of the playing career of a young player. Three times a week and on Saturdays up early at 8:45 am up on the Lower Desert an enthusiastic team of coaches had the unenviable task of channelling the excitement of up to 80 13 year old boys. Fortunately for this team of coaches their leader is Mr Energy himself Grant Paarman and thousands of first form boys have tried and failed to flatten his battery. I must pass on my thanks to Mr Dave Bonelli, Mr Tim Raw-bone, Mr James Wallace, Mr Brad Flynn and Mr Tim Dimick for the great effort and service they have provided us. During the week the under 14 A and B’s were under the watchful eye of Dave and Bones and made great progress to retain the school top team record by winning 85% of their matches.

BEST BOSCHIE RUGBY MOMENT OF THE SEASON:

With any season there are moments that stick in the mind, the kind of memories that are sparked off like when the sizzle of your boerewors when it hits a red hot grill.

The moments that you will wistfully look back upon as ‘good times’ as you slowly turn your meat, those moments that block out all the negativity that accompanied that season!

Beating Bishops at Bishops!!!!
