In Sean's own words:
25th May 2003

 " In1986 I played for the Waratahs (Burnside Juniors) but wanted to play for OldColls. When I contacted OCs, Howard Clay (Junior President that year from memory) at the end of 1986, he told me that there wasn't a team for U16s but if I could put together a dozen players the club would do the rest. 
At the time I played rugby for St Peters College and scraped together several of my school mates plus a few from PAC, Pembroke etc to make up the team.  Results were mixed that year with many of our games played with only 11 or 12 players, but we still managed to get to the finals series where we narrowly lost to my old team from Burnside.
  That afternoon we were watched by the Wallabies' Team Manager (whose name eludes me - all I remember is he died suddenly of a heart attack two weeks later), who presented me with a trophy on behalf of the club for "Best Team Member" (for contributions both on and off the field) as well as presenting the trophies for best forward and best back. 
  I also went on to play SA Schoolboys from 1987 through to 1990 as well as playing for the Saints championship winning First XV of 1988 and runners-up in 1989. I played for Old Colls from 1987 through to 1997 (when I had a motorbike accident a week before the 4th grade won their Grand Final)."
