The 2011 CBHS Rugby Club Prize Giving will take place on Tuesday the 20th of September in the Large Gymnasium at CBHS. All players, coaches, parents and supporters welcome. It would be great to have a good turn out to support the efforts of CBHS rugby for 2011.
A mixed bag of results as we approach the business end of the season. The 1st XV went down narrowly to Nelson College 18-20 to miss out on the finals for the Press Cup, whilst the 2nd XV lost to University A 15-25 in the Under 20 grade. Two outstanding performances see the ‘Might’ 3rd XV contest the Under 18 Final v St Bede’s 2nd XV, whilts the Under 16A beat the Under 15A 45-5 to set up a final showdown v St Bede’s. For a full set of results go to the Results section.
It is tremendous to see CBHS entering 20 teams in Metro competitions. Well done to all and good luck for the weekends fixtures.
The 2011 Easter festival proved to be a great success, despite the withdrawal of a number of teams from overseas and the north island as a result of the earthquake. And was a successful precursor for many teams as they prepare for the 2011 season.
Christchurch Boys High School welcomes and hosts touring teams every year. It is a wonderful adjunct to a rugby season to enrich the rugby experience of our club members by having the opportunity to play visiting schools. For more information please contact Phil Watson, the Master-in-charge of Rugby.
The School has a proud history of producing All Blacks. Our first coming in 1901 and since then 42 CBHS students have gone on to represent New Zealand. In this year’s squad we have 5 CBHS Old Boys, Daniel Carter, Adam Thomson, Ben Franks, Owen Franks and Colin Slade.
