With a few players pulling out due to illness we unfortunately had to scratch the 6th team’s match as players had to move up to help the teams above. Despite not having our teams at full strength we still managed to get great results with the 3rd and 5th teams both winning their fixtures. The 2nd team played against tough opponents and displayed great spirit and fight to bring the final result to a draw! Well done to all the teams for their fantastic effort and results!

The 1st team has moved up into the Super League, which means they will only play against 1st teams from the various schools in their league. Their first match has not gone their way, but with their commitment and tenacity, we’re confident they will be ready for what’s to come in the new year! Congratulations to the 2nd team for a solid win against St Cyprian’s with only conceding one game from all six matches played. Keep up the good work!

The 4th team faced tough opponents and unfortunately lost their fixture against Westerford. They showed great determination and never gave up. Good effort! Well done to the 2nd team and 5th team for your wins against Wynberg and Herschel. Keep making us proud! The 3rd and 6th teams unfortunately did not play any matches this week due to their opponents forfeiting. Hopefully, all the schools/teams will be ready and available for the fixtures in Term 1. See you all back on the court in 2024!

Water Polo

The season has been a very busy one, with yet another water polo match last Friday. The U16s traveled to Herschel, as the U19s had another match played at Reddam. Despite both teams losing, the determination was evident. Thank you for wearing your costumes proudly and representing your school. 

Here are the results of the two matches:

RGHS vs Herschel

0 – 15 Loss

RGHS vs Reddam

0 – 13 Loss
