The boys at Ripplevale faced Castle Community School in a re-match of last year’s tense and dramatic encounter.  This eagerly anticipated match was as thrilling as the previous one, with the boys all competing well in a hard fought but fair contest.  With fantastic tackling, some good running with the ball, excellent scrummaging and superb team work the contest was closer than the 25 - 10 scoreline in favour of Castle suggests.  Despite having missed a number of training sessions due to adverse weather, the technical skills - individually and as a team - bode well for future matches.
