This has been deferred for a few weeks. The new meeting date will be published in next week’s newsletter.

Rugby

Good luck to all those teams who are playing in the finals this week, we know you will leave everything out there as it is your last game of the season.

A big thank you to all the Coaches and Managers who have helped with teams this year, without your support we would not be able to put as many teams on the field as we do. Your time and the effort you have put in is really appreciated by all at the College, the boys and the parents.

Many many thanks.
