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!
