The Grade 8 Rugby Team fought well yesterday against the weather and a very solid opposing team in their semi-final match against Carson Graham. The match started off lopsided in Carson's favour, but the Highlanders came back in the second half. Unfortunately, their efforts came up a bit short. Still, is was a strong team performance let by standout performances from Dorian Carmel and Thea Scott. It was a fun season and all players should be proud of how they performed.
