A Tragedy in the Rugby Community

It seems like an age since this morning's blog post, welcoming Wallington Grammar School and the excitement of Thursday's match for our boys.  Tonight we have the very sad announcement that the team has returned to the U.K. following an accident that occured during a scheduled swim at Shawnigan yesterday. One of the lads, Jamal Ottun, was discovered in three meters of water after swimming with nearby friends.  Despite the response of emergency services and considerable efforts by the school's staff and students, Jamal could not be saved and tragically, passed away.  It is with our heartfellt sympathy we send our prayers and thoughts to Jamal's parents, his team mates, school mates and school staff.
