Congratulations to the 13U boys rugby team who made CIS history on Tuesday 16 May, by becoming the first CIS sports team to win gold in Division 1. Not only did they take away top honours in a fiercely-fought competition, they crushed both teams in the semi-finals and the final.

In the semi-finals, CIS was placed 4th with their backs up against the wall, playing 1st place, AIS. With a ‘power surge’ from Coach Grimwood, the boys got on the field and never looked back! The final score was 4 tries to 1, which meant we came up against our old foes, Dulwich in the final.

With the confidence sky high and the boys ready to take no prisoners, the team entered the final with only one thing on their mind - gold! After the final whistle had blown, CIS 6, Dulwich 0 - the icing on the cake for a fantastic season.

The Canadian International School Rugby Academy (CISRA) had another feather in their bow but this was a little bit more special. Thank you to all the players, coaches and supporters who took part in a first fantastic year of the academy and we look forward to building on from here.

Go Huskies!
