Sorry - no photos of the game as Oliver was cameraman and didnt take any!!!
Tom Harrison
A superb tour both on and off the field. Life and soul of the party and performances full of heart and aggression.
Simon
Played some great rugby and worked hard. Got a lot more game time than i though he would do as a result of five consistently high performances.
Harry
A favourite for player of the tour. Huge tackling, solid scrummaging and a never say die attitude.
Kyle
Had his problems with injury but was massive when he was on the field. Had his best game vs Mannenburg when he returned to the field to stabilise the scrum.
Danny Galindo
Another favourite form Player of the tour. Excellent tackling notably a huge hit on the try line against Milnerton full back. Very effective in loose play as well linking up forwards and backs.
Jamie Mason
Worked his socks off and got lots of votes in the Players Player of the tour. An unsung hero.
Ben Booth
No tries for Ben (again!!) but five performaces full of running and big hits. The tackle on Bergvleits big number 8 was a text book challenge for how a small guy stops a big guy.
Sam Sessions
Excellent leadership all tour. Got the lads up for games and led from the front. Didnt get his hands on the ball much but won lots of turnovers and made lots of tackles.
Sam Womersley
Was kept on his toes from John Handscomb but rose to the challenge. Excellent distribution from Lowther as well as solid defence. This tour saw a return to the Sam Womersley of old after a quiet year.
Jordan Lowther
A great tour. Every opposition coach mentioned him and Briggsy as the star players. Moments of magic throughout the tour and some very big hits. Got the backs firing and was instrumental in everything good we did.
Sam Codman
Solid defence and excellent with the ball in hand. Ran straight and hard and was unlucky not to be amongst the try scorers.
Aaron Briggs
Top try scorer with 6 tries in 5 games. Also played his 100th game for school. The game against Mannenberg was his finest game but he played a huge part in all five.
Oliver
Scored the crucial try vs Mannenburg and cut Bergvleit to pieces in the opening minutes. Was injured for the alst game but played his part in the first 4.
Antony
Scored the try of the tour when he took a reverse flip pass from Briggsy to score in the corner. Always a threat with the ball and scored 2 in 4 games.
Matty D
pLAYER CENTRE, FULL BACK AND FLY HALF and gacve solid performances in each one. A constant threat in attack and solid in defence.
Will Addy
Missed the first three games with inury but played his part in a great defensive display in the 2nd half against Bergvleit.
Will Denham
A great tour. One of the best players - not just becasue of his age but because of his ability. He rose to the challenge and will be a favourite for Player and Players Player of the tour.
Matty T
Switched from forwards to backs and scored his first ever try against Mannenberg. A raw talent but showed the desire to learn and improve.
Conor
Not in the starting XV in game 1, but forced his way into the starting team in game 5. Got the wing spot on merit after a number of fantstaic performances. Conor socred a great try against Bergsig and was the best defensve winger on tour.
John Handscomb
Played a big part in the tour by providing competition at 9 with Sam W. John got as much game time as Sam and was instrumental in all our wins. Likes to play the game at pace and offers a more maverick approach to scrum half. A tour to be proud of.
Tom Rowan
Still learning but again played very well. Looked more at home at full back where he made a couple of try scoring tackles. Kicked the ball back well and has certainly cemented his place in the starting XV next year.
Josh W
Played prop and was up against some very tough opposition. More than held his own and worked hard to get around the pitch. To top it all there were a couple of trademark Womersley dummies to bore us all with in the changing room afterwards.
John H
Played his best ever game against Manneberg. Drove it in well and won a couple of turnovers before limping off. Even though he was injured for the last two he was great support fot he lads on the field.
Garry
Scored a cracking try against Bergvleit showing that if he gets the ball in space he can be a real danger. Overcame adversity to have a great tour.
Adam Irving
Played far better rugby than i have seen before. His head can go down easily but not on this tour. Worked his socks off in all the games and was very strong in the lineout. A great tour from Adam.
Kris Beckwith
Missed games with sun burn and injury but played his part when he came on notably in the lst game agaisnt Milnerton where he put in some fine tackles.
Ben Maney
Again inury kept him out of a few games but he had a great game against Manneberg. His highlight was a huge double hit with Harry on their centre on the try line. I was all ready to walk behind the posts when i heard the crunch and saw Ben drive him back five yards.

Reading through all the posts it sounds as though everyone has made an impression at sometime. Well done to all the lads, you deserve a ticker tape parade on your return.
Thanks to Tom, Rob, Jimmy, Steve and Joe for looking after everyone. I am sure you feel as proud of the lads as we parents do.
Look forward to seeing all the proper pictures !!!!
Cheers
Shaun

This reply is to shaun where the mention for andrew hes put a lot of time and effort into the tour as well as the support and fund raising part to not meaning to sound rude to you shaun but ive had to put up without a husband for the last 3 years always helping out with the rugby and running sum of the players to and from the matches. mrs womersley. sam and joshuas mum. ps been worth it to see the finale in the end
MAGGIE.......
you're perfectly right there, no intention to discredit Andy (and you) and all the other parents who have helped make this tour a success.
Well done everyone.
sorry shaun wasnt being funny i just felt that andrew got left out and i agree with you everybody deserves a pat on the back its been hard work for everybody including the parents too. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Thankyou for that.

Well done everybody for the tour and effort that's gone into making it a success. However after reading the last blog, I have to suggest that Oliver Hallas must wear the Pink Hat on the way home for not taking any pictures of the last game. Only 1 job to do and he forgot to do it, What a prat !!! Regards Graeme
