They faced a tough Laerskool Modderfontein team and although they played their hearts out, they did not emerge victorious.
Their coach, Ruan Nel, who has trained the boys since they were in Grade One, along with the rest of the school and the boys’ parents are incredibly proud of their achievement.
Last year the team only made it to the quarter-finals of the league, so this year’s achievement showcases how much they continue to improve as rugby players and as a team.
