A cursory perusal of this score card would give the idea that the School had had a very poor season indeed.  This, however, is not the case; for, although their opening games resulted in defeats, there was no fundamental lack of talent in the team.  It was the excellence of their opponents, not any specific weakness in the composition of the team that defeated them, and, to one who was able to judge their value in each game, the results reflect the greatest credit on the team.
On the form of the team, bouquets must be handed to T. L. Moore for his brilliant captaincy, to T. S. Rees, G. Jones, Trevor Jones, H. Parr, and A. H. Lewis for conspicuous three‑quarter play, and to all the forwards for the very courageous manner in which they flung themselves into the fray against some of the heaviest school‑boy packs in the country

From the above, it will be seen that, under the captaincy of D. J. Jones, the 2nds have had a very successful season.  Not only have they not been beaten, but their standard of play was so consistently good that several players were drafted into the First XV., where they continued to distinguish themselves.  All honour, therefore, to this gallant band for their magnificent displays.
