T
he 2005 season was too varied in team performances to have reaped any notable final result. Amongst stunning performances such as the matches against Hale and Scotch, were scattered some insipid displays like those against Wesley and Aquinas which rather suggested that the team was unable to sustain the weekly intensity needed to prevail at the highest level. The highlights of the season were unequivocally the first game against Hale, where the Trinity XV were magnificent in defeat, and the last game against Scotch, when the team won a close and fiercely-contested battle with a try-saving tackle by Matt Fitzsimons in the last five seconds of the game. As Captain, David Lush led superbly from the front. His was a giant contribution and no previous Captain has done better. He was ably supported by the other
back-row members of Dane Lazarus and Brandon Robins and together they proved the back-bone of the pack. In the backs, talented players such as Adan Parker, Matthew Fitzsimons and Alex Heywood worked well together for some scintillating tries. The whole team trained hard throughout the year to make up for the lack of rugby experience amongst some members but the gap proved too wide to bridge in the end. However everyone tried their very best and I am sure that many will enjoy a fruitful career in club rugby. To all I extend my very best wishes and my thanks for the opportunity to coach an absolutely delightful group of boys. Ken Sass Coach
