2015 ISA 16’s Representative Rugby Success

This year’s representative program was another very successful carnival. It was full of many mixed emotions, as the team farewelled Mr David Paton, as manager of the group over the last nine years, and in turn welcomed manager extraordinaire Mr Max Spencer. Max and his authentic Lions hit shields from the most recent British and Irish Lions Tour made the boys feel pretty special. Finishing 2 places higher than last year, and making the final for the very first time after 5 years was a very fitting outcome for the ISA 16’s. Results of the trials are detailed below:
