Sporting Results: 5 February

Overview Sporting Achievements

Unfortunately, heavy rain on Friday and Saturday saw the cancellation of cricket fixtures for the weekend, and it was only our water polo teams who travelled down to Durban to compete against the Grasshoppers from Glenwood.

Earlier in the week, College played tennis and squash matches. In addition, our boys also did very well in the Dash & Crash on the Umgeni ahead of the Dusi Canoe Marathon.

 

Canoeing

A number of our boys took part in the 2022 17km Dash & Crash, supported by College’s coach, Bridgitte Hartley. College took race honours by winning the K1 U18 race.
