It was the first Senior Boys' CISAA championship in eight years and the first in the Sevens competition. They opened the finals day with a difficult 26-10 victory over Greenwood College School with Alex Railton leading the team with two tries and 3 converts for 16 points. The other tries were scored by Hudson Wildberger and Lucas Yang. Next up was host HTS, and after a slower than normal start, the team ran out winners 17-7. Wildberger and Yang scored their second tries of the day and Anthony Rea crossed over for his first. Railton added one convert. That meant a re-match against Greenwood who defeated HTS 10-5 to earn their berth in the final. The championship game was a very physical affair with hard hits and solid tackles from both teams. Wildberger opened the scoring for CDS and the Railton convert put them up 7. Greenwood charged back and scored to bring the score to 7-5. The teams exchanged tries before halftime with Rea crossing for CDS and Railton was, once again, perfect with the convert. At the whistle it was 14-10 for CDS. The next four minutes were tense as both teams struggled to find some offence. Yang's third try of the day with less than 3 minutes remaining put some space between the teams. Railton's convert forced GCS to scramble as they needed two tries to win. The CDS defence held firm and after Bryan Leary recovered the ball in a tackle and raced away to score the final try of the game, the celebrations began with a final 28-10 victory. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- Excerpt: The Country Day School’s Senior Boys’ Rugby team crowned an undefeated season with a championship win over Greenwood College.
