24 May 2025 - Zayo vs PBHS again

 But this time, a week later, the game was at St Albans school. For a bunch of the Zayo boys this was their final game of schoolboy rugby. It was also the end of season 15 aside game as the school rugby season differs. 

The game started on a high note as Zayo scored a beautiful try from an intercept inside their own half. In the end they won 34 to Pta Boys High's 32. 

Master Liam plans to participate in 7's rugby for the rest of the year until next season. It will keep him game fit and keep building his skills.

New rugby team as from 15 May 2025 - Zayo

Liam was invited to a rugby practice at really short notice on Thursday morning, 15 May. For that same afternoon! 

His buddy Frosty has been playing for Zayo Rugby Academy for a while and suggested that Liam contact the coach about possibly playing for them. 

He went, he conquered, and on Saturday 17 May he played his first game for Zayo Academy's senior rugby team. Just. Like. That. 

They played against Pretoria Boys High at the PBHS rugby fields. Generally considered a school with a rich and strong rugby history with a string of notable achievements, the game was highly entertaining from a spectator's point of view. The Zayo boys had a decent outing, and the game ended in a 15 all draw. Mom, Dad, Dylan, Grandpa, Kyla and Spikey were there to support The Dude. 

After a very slow start to the year with the Tuks development team, he finally played his first game of 2025. Good experience, and now his season is underway. 

Make the best of it Dude - you've got this.
