Tennis
We almost had a clean sweep in this last round of tennis matches. Our 4th and 5th teams had to go up against each other, so there could unfortunately only be one winner! The girls are showing great competitive spirits even within the teams. Challenge matches are happening almost daily with players wanting to up their rankings and move into a higher team. Great results tennis girls! Keep it up!

Indoor Hockey
Week 2 of Indoor Hockey league fixtures came with a couple of disruptions, as a number of our learners were unavailable, and our opponents also had a large number of learners unavailable due to a camp.
This meant that we were only able to play 3 matches against St Cyprian’s. The First and Second team matches have been postponed to Monday 13 February 2023.
All matches next week will see us taking on Fairmont in Durbanville.
