SACS RUGBY ON A HIGH

 In LATEST NEWS

SACS Rugby has achieved its best ever overall results at this juncture of the season.  Not so long ago SACS was struggling to compete with its 3 local Southern Suburbs rivals (Bishops, Rondebosch & Wynberg) let alone the Big 4 schools from the Boland. A quick look at the below tells an entirely different picture. Well done to all the players, coaches, supporters and everyone else involved in this remarkable turnaround.

For simplicity it’s worth comparing apples with apples. SACS results vs Bishops, Rondebosch & Wynberg. Similar schools with comparable numbers, ethos, boys, coaches & facilities.

SACS V BISHOPS

P 18  W 10  L 7  D 1   ( 59%)

SACS V RONDEBOSCH

P 17  W 11  L 4  D 2   (65%)

SACS V WYNBERG

P 18  W 12  L 5  D 1   (71%)

TOTAL:  P 53  W 33  L 16  D 4  (67%)

If you dig a little deeper it is clear that SACS has become most dominant at ‘A’ team and 1st – 3rd XV level as illustrated below.  In 18 matches against Bishops, Rondebosch & Wynberg only 2 games were lost and those were by 7 and 2 points respectively.  A fantastic achievement when one considers the rugby history of our opposition and the amount of work they are also putting into their rugby programmes.

U14A

P 3 W 2 L 1

U15A

P 3 W 2 L 1

U16A

P 3 W 3 L 0

3rd XV

P 3 W 3 L 0

2nd XV

P 3 W 1 D 2

1st XV

P 3 W 2 D 1

TOTAL:  P 18  W 13  L 2  D 3  (87%)

5 SACS teams achieved the coveted Triple Crown in the 2nd term namely 3rd XV, 6th XV, U16a, U14b & U14c. The 1st XV came excruciatingly close with Rondebosch scoring a converted try in the final passage of play to draw the game!

All in all it’s been an outstanding season for SACS Rugby but….5 very tough fixtures still remain after the holidays.

Lets finish strong and make 2016 a season to remember!
