1st XI XV Boys First Rugby 2016 Football 2015 The 2016 season was one of highs and lows for the Lincoln 1st XV. On the negative side, they had their worst season in terms of results with only one win and a draw. On the positive side, the team had fantastic community support, grew in strength and determination throughout the season and they were also featured on Sky Sports 1st XV rugby programme playing Ashburton College. The season didn’t get off to the best of starts, with only eight of the expected dozen players from 2015 available to be selected. Most had left school but there were also long term injuries. To make matters worse, during the pre-season campaign there was a season ending injury and some shorter but very troublesome injuries meaning, that the team didn’t hit the start of the UC Championship as well prepared as everyone hoped for. In fact it was well into the season before all the players returning from the 2015 season actually made it on to the paddock in the same game. Despite this, the team worked hard to improve their skills throughout the season and they played with courage
and determination against some much bigger sides. Every team they played, discovered that the score didn’t reflect the physicality of the game. The 1st XV had 6 players selected for the Ellesmere Under 18 side. They also had 3 selected for Country Under 18s and 3 were loan players for the Mid Canterbury Under 18 team. 1 player was selected for both the Ellesmere and Country Under 16 sides. MVP for 2016 was Brett Gillan for the determined way in which he played every game. Regan Kay was the most promising player and finally Duncan Finlayson received the cup for Contribution to the 1st XV for the way in which he organised the team both on and off the field.

The team would sincerely like to thank all their sponsors for this season, especially Challenge Lincoln, Wood’n’Tree, Canon Hygiene, Placemakers Hornby and Pak’nSave Moorhouse Ave. Without your support the season would have been much harder. Thanks also to all our families and individual sponsors.
