Rowan McLachlan

As we close out this season, I want to take a moment to reflect on what we achieved. While the scoreboard may not always have shown the results we were hoping for, I believe this season has been a true success in many other, perhaps more important, ways. From the very beginning, we set out to build a programme that was resilient and required hard work and commitment resulting in continuous improvement, and the players rose to the occasion. Every practice, every game and every challenge we faced brought us closer. The effort and dedication the players put in on and off the field have laid the groundwork for something bigger than just victories or losses.

This season we focused on development, both as individuals and as a team, and we saw players grow in their skills, confidence and leadership. The discipline, teamwork and sportsmanship the boys displayed are things that cannot be measured by a scoreline, but they are qualities that will last far beyond this season. Of course we always want better results, but the most important thing is that we never gave up. We kept pushing, learning from our mistakes and growing together. This season has set the foundation for future success, and I have no doubt that the progress we made will show in the seasons to come.
