U19 Boys Rugby
Our U19 boys attended a rugby tournament held at Rosslyn on Saturday. A momentous occasion where some players were representing Braeburn sport for the final time before graduating. The team started off really well winning their first group match game convincingly against ISK 2. They then went on to play a tough Rosslyn side and managed a draw despite some difficult challenges and injuries. Having successfully topped the group, Braeburn were through to the semi finals against Hillcrest. It was an interesting start with back to back action.
Unfortunately, Braeburn were reduced to just 4 players by the end of the game as the team struggled with further injuries. Nonetheless, they showed great resilience and pursed the game right until the end. A great performance from each and every player.

U15 Girls Rugby League🏉
The U15 girls had a chance to truly test their mettle last Saturday in Brookhouse Runda’s phase of the rugby series. The day kicked off slowly with a loss to St Andrew’s Turi. Nevertheless, the team picked up as the day progressed, securing a win over Brookhouse Runda and a draw vs Braeside Thika. The girls finished third in the pool. We are trusting the process and confident of greater successes in the coming weeks.

First Half of Term at a glance
We are at the midpoint of this sporting season’s journey, and it has been nothing short of intense. The Under 14 boys rugby team sits comfortably at the peak of an impressive run, coming out unbeaten in encounters against ISK and Rosslyn, among others. The Under 14 girls have not been left behind, thriving in their only fixture against Rosslyn, and confident of wins in days to come. The U15 girls rugby began their campaign with comfortable victories against Rift valley academy, and have continued building their skills and confidence in more challenging engagements as the term unfolds.
As for the Under 15 boys team, their confidence remains unmatched, proved in their performances at Rift Valley Academy versus multiple schools in attendance. In the last weekend, the Under 19 boys team took names all the way to the semi finals in a hotly contested rugby tournament at Rosslyn Academy.
The basketball girls have not been left behind this season. The under 14 girls won their first fixture against Durham earlier in the term. The under 15 girls also rewarded us with a victory over St Christopher’s International School at home, sustaining what has been impressive growth for this young team.
As the teams take on a well earned rest this coming week, we anticipate a beautiful second act upon our return. Enjoy your half term! Stay active!
