The Elsburg Eagles Rugby Club travelled to Springs, on Saturday, for the Springs Junior Rugby Day.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s teams faced off against sides from Springs, Kempton Park, Benoni, Boksburg and Vereeniging, but, unfortunately, it was another disappointing weekend for the club, with only one win from the nine matches played.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The results did not, however, dampen the club\u2019s spirits, with chairman Tyron Smuts once again congratulating the teams on their efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to our players; they played with so much passion,\u201d he said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThough they were unable to get through their opponents\u2019 defences and score, they learnt a lot and are improving each week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Results of the day\u2019s matches:<\/strong><\/p>\n
