M1-SRU 10s

Our Montfortian C Div and B Div boys were in action on 28th and 29th May 2008 at CCAB (Evans Road) for the M1-SRU 10s.

Our C Div boys emerged as Plate Runners-Up in the competition. They started the competition with a narrow 0-5 loss to ACS (Barker Road) but our C boys picked up the pace with a 21-0 win against Northbrooks Secondary. The Northbrooks victory sealed our place in the Plate Semi-Finals where we met Damai Secondary. Our boys beat Damai 5-0 to secure a place in the Plate Finals against our fellow Catholic brother school SJI. In the final, SJI played a robust match and beat us 15-0. Despite losing the match, our C boys showed a lot of spirit and determination.

Our B Boys emerged as Cup Semi-Finalist in their competition. They started the competition with a 5-0 win over Northbrooks. The B Boys then held ACS (Barker) to 10-10 draw to secure their place in the Cup Semi-Final against Pioneer Sec. Despite losing 12-0 to Pioneer, our B Boys showed a lot of potential and the national age-grade coaches are impresssed with some of our boys.

Well Done Giants!

Well Done Montfort Rugby Giants




This is the first post for a long-time as Mr Singh has been knocked out with the dreaded chickenpox and the blog has been lying idle for a while. But the MAN is now back at Montfort!
Congratulatons to the B Divison for coming in 4th Place in the National Under-17 Rugby Plate Tournament.
This means our Montfortian Rugby Giants are now among the Top 8 in Singapore rugby-playing schools.
We wish to thank our coach, Mr Kelvin, for bringing us this far! Special mention also to our Player of the Season and Man of Steel, Low Feng Hua, who led the team very well.
Another update, our Coach has decided to leave Montfort to take up another appointment elsewhere. This means that we will be having a new coach by May 16. The new coach will be assisted by Mr Singh who has decided to lace-up his boots once again and train the under-13 and under-14 forwards for the up-coming C Division tournament in July 2008.
Good Luck for the upcoming Mid-Year Exams!
