In a typical" opener" Foster's gave agood account of themselves in drawing 3 - 3, but had only themselves to blamethat they did not start the season with a win, as they had won more than their fairshare of the ball but squandered possession with" breaks close" to the scrumrather than "giving the ball width".1617
The fixtures continued with the usual match against the Old Fosterians'Association (3 - 16), Junior Leaders Regiment, Bovington (13-18), YeovilCollege (3-50) and Sherborne School (6-9) all ofwhich were lost. By this stage ofthe season morale was very low, and the XV found it hard to break out of thislosing sequence. Although the results had not gone their way there were signs ofimprovement in a number of spheres - notably the rucking. In a four week periodthe squad worked particularly hard on improving their rucking technique as it wasobvious from the matches already played that the pack would be hard pressed toobtain quality possession from the "set" owing to their lack in stature.The turning point of the season came with a IO - 3 win in the return matchagainst Sherborne School. The support play that day was excellent, and the workon rucking really began to pay dividends as the backs had quality possession toattack with. The next match against Milton Abbey was the only match that theXV were to lose in the remainder ofthe season, and even this was a close run thingwith Meatonjust failing to convert a penalty from his own half in injury time. Thefinal score was 7 - 9.With one win under their belts and growing confidence amongst the squadthe XV completed their fixtures with wins over Beaminster (4-0), Shaftesbury(35-0), Woodroffe, Lyme Regis (14-3), Yeovil College (26-19), Wadham,Crewkerne (22-7) and Shaftesbury (18-15), the most creditable of these resultsbeing the 35 - 0 over Shaftesbury. In atrocious weather Foster's had kicked wellin defence and opened the play in attack.Les Hillman played consistently well at full back, gaining in confidence asthe season went on. Richard Rayner, with his strong running at centre threequarter,particularly on the"crash ball" , was the top try scorer and SimonMeaton was the place kicker and exceptionally fast hooker. These, together'withthe captain Richard Green, were awarded School Rugby Football colours, buttribute should be paid to all of the players in the squad whose match disciplinewas exemplary throughout the season, whether on the winning or losing side.Above all, their matches were played in a determined manner but in the best ofspirit, and were devoid of any of the unsavoury incidents that hav'e brought thegame into disrepute.The SquadL.

However, following a great deal of pressure Foster's scored a try(which was converted) just before half-time. Both sides came close to scoring inthe second half but the score remained at 6 - 6 until the final whistle.Finally T would like to thank the Headmaster for his countless efforts incoaching the 2nd XV.The Squadc.

The forwards often came up against large packs, butalways fought hard and usually got the better of their opponents. M. Symons atNo. 8 and I. Davis at hooker played particularly well throughout the season. Thebacks, led by M. Shackle as Captain and fly-half, used the ball skilfully and well,particularly G. Hurst who was the leading try scorer.Team' G. Brown, 1. Davis, R Enun, J. Clements, N. Golding, M. Pearse-Danker, R. Dolbear,M. Symons, N. Ayling, M. Shackle, M. Dixon, G. Hurst, A. de Serra, S.
