Unlike all other seasons, this season saw the start of competitive rugby in Grade 7s(Under 13 years). This was a step forward by the administration to get the game into the young lads.

The U13s were not able to participate in any tournament but they had a friendly triangular tournament which featured RVA and Cavina School. It was a great afternoon to see the young players new in the game putting their best foot forward to win against both schools.

On a different scene; the Under 15 years (Form Ones) also had their share of introduction to the game. They had a chance of participating in the International schools league tournament. They started off by playing friendlies which they lost. At some point at the start of the season one would have easily gotten discouraged if there was need to have Form Ones play but as they played more games they were able to become better and display good quality rugby. In the ultimate Under 15s Tournament at RVA they became second losing the the defending champions St. Andrews School Turi by a 2 point margin in the finals.

For the Under 16 years (Form 2s) the boys participated in the Damu Changa league and Blackrock 10s tournament. These leagues exposed them to the game as they only had a chance to play 1 game in their Form 1 year. In the leagues they got ejected in the group stages and Quarter finals respectively. They displayed hope for the future of the game in the school!

For the seniors (Form 3s and Form 4s) the team had mixed fortune as the Team A 7s started off the season by winning Gold in the annual Hillcrest U19s 7s aside tournament. The team A also featured in the Nairobi County 15s, Prescott Cup 15s and Blackrock 10s tournament. In all the 3 tournaments they recorded minor losses and got ejected in Quarter finals, Group Stages and Quarter Finals respectively.

With all this action the school rugby team has a bright future worth looking forward to!

This year’s celebration of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the school was well celebrated with families in the school donating flowers which were used to create a petal carpet where Our Lord would passed over as He was brought to the library forecourt where the whole school community was present.

The boys and teachers came together to do the artwork on the pathway before the petals were placed in a pattern to form a colourful petal carpet.

For the form 4 students, the ceremony was their last in school, had the opportunity to be present in the procession led by the Grade 3 boys who recently received First Holy Communion.

Our Lord remained exposed in the altar throughout the day till 7.30pm. This was to keep the tradition of 12 Hours with the Lord where parents, staff and students had sessions in the chapel to be with Our Lord in the exposed Eucharist from 7.30am to 7.30pm all having turns.

It was a wonderful Thursday!

Talent show in the school has become an annual event which features a variety of activities that enable the boys bring out the talents that they have nurtured away from class. The primary and secondary shows are held separately with the primary talent show being held in the swimming pool and the secondary on the library forecourt.

Both sections had afternoons on different days where there were live performances. Pieces of art work were also exhibited and displayed.

It was evident after the two afternoons that the boys have more than what they receive from classwork!

On Saturday 3rd June the Strathmore School rugby Teams A and B got an invitation to the annual Saint Marys School Blackrock Rugby Tournament. This year the tournament was setup to be a 10s Tournament.

Having been runners-up in last year’s 7s tournament the team was positive and hopeful for this year’s 10s tournament.

Both Teams A and B were able to qualify for the main cup quarterfinals.

Team A lost in the quarter finals against a well oiled Kitondo High School while Team B lost to UpperHill A after a gallant fight.

The tournament Finalists were RVA A and Rosslyn Academy. Rosslyn emerge winners this year.

We hope for the best to the team as they take-on the Term 2 rugby season.
