u16A Match Report vs Wynberg
The u16A team did not have everything their own way on Sat, but pulled through to finish the season off in fine style by beating Wynberg 12 nil in their last regular season fixture. The coaches warned the boys that Wynberg were also playing their last game together and wanted to end on a high just as much as we did, so both teams had everything to play for. Wynberg burst out of... Read More
u16A Match Report vs Paarl Boys
SACS u16A did not have a very good outing to Paarl this Saturday, losing 37 – 3 to a Boishaai side full of attacking rugby. The SACS side was lacking 6 regulars, which did have an effect on the way the team played, but to be honest all players can tackle with passion and fervour if they so wish, and unfortunately this was not seen from the SACS boys. The side seems to have lost... Read More
u16A Match Report vs Brackenfell
The u16A team has not had their best time together this past week, losing to both Colstons and Brackenfell by narrow margins. To say the boys looked rusty against Colstons would be an understatement as I believe the intensity and execution were sorely lacking in almost every department. Yes, the game was played during the week after school, but to use that as an excuse would be... Read More
u16A Match Report vs Wynberg
The u16A team finished the 1st half of the season in style beating a determined Wynberg side 25 – 5 on the memorial B field on Thursday 16 June. The expected rain did not materialise for our match so the game, although muddy underfoot, was largely played as normal with the ball being thrown around quite a bit providing an entertaining spectacle for the small crowd that gathered...

u16A Match Report vs Primrose
The Primrose match was a good test for the u16A team as I feel we may have under estimated them somewhat. The plan was for us to keep the ball tight with the forwards and grind them down so that eventually the ball could be spread wide, however what we did not take into account was the way the Primrose boys did not stand back easily. This I feel shocked the boys a bit and as such... Read More
u16A Match Report vs De Kuilen
The u16A team had an interesting morning out at De Kuilen. The boys were ready after the Paul Roos match, and wanted to keep the standards they set the week before. This was always going to be difficult and one the boys ultimately failed to do, but what they did achieve was grinding out an ugly win in difficult circumstances. They were not fantastic, nor did they set the field alight... Read More
u16A Match Report vs Paul Roos
Wow! What a mind bending performance from the boys and such a pity that the score line did not reflect the dominance that this u16A team had over rivals, Paul Roos on that day. Yes, we lost 20 nil, but 2 try opportunities went a-begging, whilst the Paul Roos tries, although well finished, came from silly, stupid errors from ourselves. What remains the most frustrating thing... Read More
u16A Match report vs Bishops
The u16A team has been through a lot, both mentally and physically these past few weeks, and all I can say is I am massively proud of them to have pulled through such a difficult period with a smile on their faces and with such determination to sort themselves out against Bishops. The pressure from not winning has been huge from all parties involved with the team, and it has been... Read More
