players during the season and five of these
players were Under 18 plus two of these were

We also did something different this year with our

definitely two schools of thought on how well this
worked so I’m looking forward to debriefing with
the coaches to see what learnings we can take

The second half has been our nemesis this year, in our six losses for the season we were leading or level at half time in four of them – fitness fellas, you can’t hope to compete at the top level if only half the team is fit, it’s a fifteen man game. Our final results for the season were 13 games, 6 Wins, 6 Losses, 1 Draw. Our leading try scorer for the year was Kyle Jamieson with ten tries, followed by Brett Jackson with eight and Jayden Hay with six, Kyle was also the leading point’s scorer with 74 points for the season, followed by Nic Forster with 39.

After a tough start to our season the boys came
back firing after the term 2 holiday break and this
showed out on the pitch. With some new additions
to the squad coming from Rugby League and
playing for us most games was a huge asset with
their big tackles and solid runs. All the boys
seemed to follow in their footsteps, with everyone
gaining in confidence and we were certainly not
afraid to have a crack at the line.
Although still winless for the season, our boys
improved rapidly and all the dedication the lads
showed finally payed off when we got a last
minute win over the other Prebbleton Red team.
This was an exciting time for us as coaches, the
supporters and especially the boys themselves.

For all those involved with the Under 10 Red
team, 2015 has been an enjoyable and successful
season. Although the results haven’t always
shown it, all the boys have made huge strides in
both rugby skills and their contribution to the
team game. For all the boys this is only their
second season in tackle and it has been a steep
learning curve, but they never gave up –
epitomised in the game against Darfield when
they were well behind on the scoreboard and
proceeded to score the last three tries of the
game. It is been a really difficult task choosing

favourable as we had hoped with only 1 win and 4

year, on and off the field.
The kids grew as players, and established some
good friendships with one another.
They played hard but fair, and everyone had a
chance to shine, and each did on a regular basis.
They trained hard with more injuries, blood and
tears at training than in the games, and the kids
progressed well and you could see them taking
what they learnt to the field.
The on field results were an amazing
achievement, with 10 wins it wasn’t until the last
few rounds that we got outplayed by a couple of
better teams.
Also for the support and help from parents Rob,
Dan, Paul and Nic on the field and to all the mums
who helped with the kitchen duties each week.
The duel coaching worked really well with
different ideas and tactics bought to the field.
Dean wishes to personally thank Brendon for the
great refereeing and support he gave. The
importance of working as a team and helping
each other really encourages success and for the
