RUGBY - Boland Landbou School Mutual & Federal Agri Rugby Day
This tournament was held at Boland
Landbou School in the lovely
countryside of Agter-Paarl, with
spectacular views.
Fairmont played the first game against
Langenhoven
Gimnasium,
Oudsthoorn. What a cracker of an
opener with the game being played at
great pace and determination. Our
opponents were too strong for us and
Fairmont unfortunately went down 3
tries to none. The morale was a bit
low but, after a good team talk, the
boys overcame the defeat and were
ready to move on.
Our last game was played against
Paulus Joubert, Paarl.
The boys
understood the seriousness of this
game and, with good warm-up exercises, began to prepare themselves for their last game of the
day. A real spirited effort was unfolding with Paulus Joubert having a backline that was quick and
fancy.
Fairmont’s game plan was to take it on upfront and be patient before unleashing their backs. The
battle was immense and the boys shifted up a gear to front up to this tough opposition. When the
end whistle blew, Fairmont walked off the field scoring 3 tries and the opponents none.
I would like to congratulate every player for the manner in which they played, with true
sportsmanship on and off the field.
A big thank you to our parents for their support; we can look forward to a very exciting 2016
season.
