In 2008 Tasman did not field a ‘colts’side but several young players from the 2007 team stepped up to Makos and Makos B duties including Quentin MacDonald, Joe Wheeler, Daniel Hyatt, James Marshall, Shaun Begg and Ammon Matuatuto.
Built on the foundations of a strong 2006 U20 season when Tasman captured the inaugural South Island Championship, 2007 saw Tasman field a successful Under 21 side.
Captained by Quentin MacDonald, the team returned four win one loss record, be it by a narrow margin.
