Under 15 Rugby - Rural Livestock Tournament

The year the RLL U15 Tournament was held in Alexandra

Monday morning in Central Otago was rather chilly, the team played South Otago, a good first up game and took it out 20-17.  Followed by a physical match against St Kevins, going down 31-3. 

Day two the team had the game against Taieri at 9.30am, losing 31-3, then they took on and inform Wakatipu HIS and overcame them 21-19.

We finished the round robin matches 8th equal with South Otago, but they got through to top 8 ahead of us on 'For' points.

We played St Andrews for 9/10th on Wednesday morning.  The lads were up to the task and ran all over St Andrews putting down 8 tries to their 3.  Final Score 54-21.

A great tournament, everyone had good game time, and luckily we made it through with minor injuries.

Massive thanks to our fab year 13 coaches, Mason and Louis, you are true role models and we really appreciate all the hard work and effort you have put into these young ones.

Thank you to Fonterra for sponsoring the Team Jerseys, we are very grateful for your support.

Thanks go also to the staff who have been involved with the team and to our spectators, parents, siblings, grandparents and friends who traveled down to support the team. It truly was a wider team effort.
