On a very wet and cold Saturday morning 10 brave U8's arrived at a muddy slick home ground to take on Melbourne Gold and Maroondah. Assisted by some extra boys two games were able to take place. With the usual enthusiam from all teams two great games were had. Boroondara Red which housed 6 of the 10 boys enjoyed sliding in the mud to score their tries. It was a great game with tries going to both teams. Even one of the big forwards went in for a try after taking a quick pass from a quick thinking back. Another great win with the most improved trophy going to Ted and best on ground Shehan.
Boroondara Black had a little more advantage with a few bigger players on their team. Again it was a great game with tries going to both teams and a lot of sliding in the mud. The player of the game went to Makea.

Post Round 4 Re-gradings
Morning All
I am pleased to say that after a string of heavy defeats but upbeat outlooks our under 12 team (made of mainly first year under 12 players) has been graded down to the "B" competition. This should provide them with a much better level of competition where they will be able to compete more regularly. I just wanted to extend a thank you to the Moorabbin Under 12 side for last weekends mixed match. All our lads thoroughly enjoyed themselves and left the field a little wiser. it is this type of spirit that is typical of rugby union. Good luck for the rest of the season RAMS.
Our Under 14 team has been deemed good enough to hold their own in the "A" competition. This will provide the lads with an excellent learning curve over the remainder of the season. made up of a mainly first year player group they will no doubt pick up plenty of techniques by playing against the best the competition has to offer. This weekend will be a massive test for the lads as they head to Endeavour Hills to play against this red hot team!
Our Under 16B combined Box Hill team will stay in the "B" competition. Based on their showing last week against Maroondah they are set to go from strength to strength and really improve upon their skill sets. It was great to see so many lads turning out for the home game last weekend and hopefully a similar turnout will be seen this weekend at our other home game at Box Hill against the Geelong/Footscray combined team. May the Barbarians be at their rampaging best this weekend!
On a slightly off topic note we are delighted to announce a second Under 8 team entering the competition. This reflects an excellent growth of our club from the absolute grassroots. A big thank you to all those managing our Pathways teams as well!

U8's Game Result
11 enthusiatic U8's boys took on the mighty Moorabbin on Saturday at Melbourne Rugby Club. After a quick succession of tries by Moorabbin the boys clicked into gear replying with some flashy teamworked tries resulting in Boroondara only been a few tries down by half time. The boys were very thirsty at halftime but full of spirit that they could keep in touch with the well drilled boys from Moorabbin. The second half was just as fast paced as the first half, with Moorabbin scoring then Boroondara scoring then...... With the help of a starting time mix-up the 30 minutes game ran to 50 minutes giving all the boys a good hard game. Finally (when an official asked us to leave the field) full time came. Both teams throughly enjoying the game with Moorabbin winning by 3 or 4 tries. Big pats on the back for the U8's team for trying their best and not getting discouraged. Best improved player of the day was Shehan and player of the day went to Moses.

U8's Game Result
Boroondara U8's took on End Hills at Eltham Rugby Club. There were 13 boys eager to have a game. Welcome to Kaua, Charlie and Thomas. With so many boys on both sides a game of 8 aside was played. Again the scrum and lineout were practiced through the game giving the boys more experience before moving up to the U10's. With an extra player on each side and with a modified ground the boys found it tough to run in the normal full field tries. More skill and tact had to be used to get behind the great defence from End Hills. In the end the game was very close with Boroondara just getting over the line. A big congratulations goes to Issac for best improved player and Luca for player of the day.

U8's Game Result
The U8's played against South Districts at Harlequin Rugby Club on Saturday. All 11 players turned up and were eager to get on to the field. South Districts were a few players short so in the true spirit four of our boys donned the opposition jersey for the game. There were several highlights of the game, with Ted breaking the oppositon line on more than one occasion, learning the line-out for the first time and the boys jumping in to practice a scrum. The U8's again had a great win and are looking to take on End Hills next Saturday.

U8's Game Result
11 young players turned up for their first match of the season against Eltham at Moorabbin. All very excited and some a bit nervous. Eltham had only 6 players on the day. With so many Boroondara players 2 of the boys played for Eltham. This definitely helped the parents who were asked to assist with rotating the players.
From the start the boys from last year showed their skills by holding a straight defensive line. The new players followed suit resulting in a strong defense and few tries from Eltham.
On the attacking front and with the referee letting the game flow several of the Boroondara boys ran in for their first try for the season with some scoring one or two more. The parents couldn’t keep trace of the score as they were jumping up and down cheering on the team. If a score was to be recorded then it would be 9 to 2 although one of the boys said it was 20 to 2.
All the boys enjoyed their first game and definitely the snakes provided by Deb (Tim’s wife).
In summary, great behavior by the parents and fantastic spirit by the boys.
