The Montfort Ruggers were part of the North Zone team that was coached by the Rugby Development Manager, Malcolm David, from Singapore Rugby. Special mention to the following Sec 2 ruggers who made an impression for the North Zone team: Alvin Yap, Lewis Syn, Kenny Lee, Eugene Sito, Mohd Shamir and Dominic Daniel. From this regional tournament, Singapore Rugby will choose the best of the best to make up the 2010 National U16 Rugby Team. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Montfort will at least have a couple of national reps in the U16 team next year.
The final round of games in the Standard Chartered National Rugby Academy Regional under 15's Competition were held on Monday 15th November.This coaching programme and competition was created to identify players for the SCNRA under 16 group for 2010. The thirty players selected following the games will now progress to a further training camp on the 30th November and 1st December.The games saw the West squad defeat the North in the final minutes of the game with a penalty by their captain Khairul Anwar, from Pioneer Secondary School, to seal the game 13 - 5 in their favour. The second game saw the East beating South by a large margin of 51 - 0. The score line does not reflect the effort of the South players who never stopped tackling, making their counterparts working really hard to earn their tries.
