The St Andrew’s Preparatory School U11Bs and U13Cs recently faced off against Grahamstown Primary School’s U11As and U13As in keenly contested midweek fixtures.
Despite a valiant effort, our U13Cs tired towards the end and lost 43-5. The U11Bs had a slow start but showed great determination in the second half, scoring a lovely team try, although they ultimately went down 19-7.
Saturday, 13 July, saw the Prep Rugby Club taking on local rivals St Mary’s Primary. St Andrew’s teams played fantastic running rugby, scoring well-worked team tries.
The highlight of the morning was the fiercely contested U13A game. Both teams gave it their all, with Prep launching a last-ditch attack on St Mary’s line to clinch the crucial score. In a dramatic finish, Prep chose to go for the winning try instead of an easy penalty to level the score. Despite falling agonisingly close, the match ended 17-14 in favour of St Mary’s.
“Well done to all the boys for their effort and sportsmanship. Proud of our Prep teams!”
Scores from Saturday 13 July:
U9A won 52-7
U11A won 15-7
U13B won 40-0
U13A lost 17-14
