U15 red had a really successful season.

After getting hammered in the first two pre-season games the boys set about improving their game and strengthening the brotherhood of what it means to play rugby for STC. Everyone improved and had fun playing some good rugby.

The boys should be proud to have been competitive in section two narrowly missing out on the finals. The attitude in defence was a real highlight as well as some entertaining whole team attack.

We finished the year with a trip to play Timaru Boys High in Timaru with the 2nd XV, as well as several boys travelling on the Japan trip.

We were really fortunate to have the service of Tango Smith helping with coaching and conditioning as well as Megan Heather managing the team through the season. All the best for the year and look forward to 2020.
