Pre-Season Matches vs Pioneer Sec & Greenridge Sec

Our Montfort Rugby boys have been involved in a series of pre-season sparring matches against Pioneer Secondary and Greenridge. The matches were played on 5th December and 12th December respectively.
Our C Div and B Div played a series of four matches and came away with two wins against Pioneer.
Our C Div and B Div played a series of four matches against Greenridge and managed to come away with a respectable win.
The matches are meant to give our boys much needed game time in preparation for next year's B Div and C Div tournament.
Our panel of coaches - Euan Morrison, Pan Chao and Low Feng Hua - were able to see the strengths and weakness of our Emerging B Div and C Div Squads during this series of matches.
The pre-season continues with trainings throughout the Nov-Dec holidays (Tues, Thurs and Fri) from 9am-12noon.

SCC 7s Under-17 Schools Tournament Report

Our under-17 Montfort Rugby Boys took part in the SCC 7s Schools Tournament over the 8th and 9th November weekend at the Padang.
The 7s tournament served as development tool for our under-17 team that will be taking part in next year's B Div competition.
The two day saw our boys playing five matches against the established powerhouses like ACSI. Nonetheless we still came away with a draw against Bedok Town Sec (National Top 4). We lost our four other matches.
The tournament provided good match exposure that will be useful for next year's B Div tournament.
