Congratulations to Ruben Love, who was announced as the Supreme Boy of the Year 2019 at the Manawatu Secondary School Sports Awards last night.

The citation accompanying Ruben's award reads:


"Ruben has achieved New Zealand honours in both rugby and cricket in 2019. He has played for the NZ Under 19 Cricket Team, as a wicket keeper/batsman in test matches against Australia, in Brisbane and is also in the NZ Secondary Schools Rugby Team.


Ruben is one of only a handful of schoolboys who have been offered a full Mitre 10 rugby contract for next year, having signed with the Wellington Lions for the 2020/21 seasons. Ruben has also been chosen for the NZ Under 20’s rugby fitness testing group which is the first step in the selection process for the NZ Under 20 team for 2020.


It is believed Ruben is the first schoolboy, dual international, in both rugby and cricket since Jeff Wilson in 1992."
