St Andrew's Rugby!(:

Hellos!

Just here to blog a post on an overview of St Andrew's Secondary Rugby & the programmes & facilities & DSA for rugby!(: As you can see i'm bored!(:

Rugby in St Andrew’s

Rugby is a passion with the St Andrew’s family of schools. From the Junior School to the Junior College, the game is played with great pride, symbolized by wearing the white and blue hoped jersey.

The Games has deep roots in the school, having been introduced by GJ Gurney in 1933. The School’s proud rugby tradition has groomed over a hundred national players since 1930. Passion for the game and a deep love for the school have brought back many such established old boys to coach and support the team. They even form a very enthusiastic alumni team for under 35s and over 35s.
