The U19s were back after a two-year absence - in Section 2 Red.
And here we were again, after only one year in A Section back to B. It was starting to look like Old Trinity were too good for B Section, but not good enough for A.
After nine rounds the Firsts were top of the ladder, undefeated. The Reserves were 3rd with 7 wins and 2 losses. The U19s were 7th, 3-6. At the end of the season the Firsts were 2nd (15-3), the Reserves 3rd (12-6), and the U19s 6th (8-10).
In the Firsts second semi-final we defeated Old Paradians by 20 points.
