1st team report (Mr Suwi Siwila- Director Basketball)
After the highs of last weekend College faced an unpredictable Clifton side that has this year claimed victories over some top ranked sides including Northwood. Mr Cele, Clifton’s coach, is much admired and known for his innovative and sharp thinking. Before the game he mentioned they knew this would be their toughest test yet coming off a narrow 6 point loss to MHS. College looking focused and poised, got off to a flyer boosted by the return of Point Guard A Ngcobo. It was business as usual for L Dlamini and R Hoskins who led the with distinction; the former trying to make a case for himself for not being selected for the SA U18 squad. College led the 1st quarter 20 – 13 and never looked back. The next three quarters saw College go into cruise control and dominate the game, even adding U14 W Mbanjwa into the mix – one to look out for the future. College dominated proceedings on the day running away worthy winners 88-47.
Water polo
College’s water polo teams struggled against stronger Clifton players losing all four of their matches.
