Rugby Festival - Friday 21 April

Scotch hosted the inaugural Rugby WA Rugby Carnival on Friday 21 April. Four schools participated (Scotch, Wesley, Aquinas and Aranmore) playing each other in 40-minute games.

Scotch played Aranmore in the last game of the day and all credit to the coaches and to the boys for a sterling and courageous performance against a strong Aranmore side. Several Aranmore players and their coach reported it was one of the hardest games they had played in years - praise indeed. The experience will undoubtedly hold the boys in good stead for the upcoming season.

Thanks to Gareth Williams, Richard Foster, Alex and JC, Rugby WA (Bob Hunter & Dane Lazarus) and, of course, the boys, for making the day such a success. Thanks also to all the parents and Old Boys who helped out and stayed to support the boys. Special thanks to Andrew Moore, Adi van Schouwen, Ian Knobel and respective families, along with Old Boys Denver, Rory and Abe for all the effort you put in to make the day. View photos from the day here, thanks to Rene Greyling.
