22 Talk of the Town ADVERTISING / NEWSDESK: (046) 624 4356 Find us on Facebook June 23, 2016 Kingswood takes K-Day crown! Nail-biter sees their first win on home turf since 1980 THE annual clash between St Andrew’s College/DSG and longtime rivals, Kingswood College, known fondly by pupils and alumni as K-Day, remains one of the biggest sporting highlights in Grahamstown every y e a r. This year, K-Day returned to the Kingswood turf and dished an exciting hand of Kingswood competitiveness and triumph over the St Andrew’s/DSG counterpar ts. The three-day-long clash has long-existed as a day to divide Grahamstonians, with its footing strongly planted in more than a 100 years of competitiveness and camaraderie. Anyone, no matter what school affiliation, who has been on the sidelines, will recall what a unique atmosphere it is as the school spirit can be very easily seen both on and off the field. Once again this year, pupils, parents and members of the Grahamstown community flocked from field to field, eagerly watching the high level of sport on offer, as the three Kowie Bowling Club TUESDAY on we played our SUPERSPAR competition with a fairly small field, I would imagine because of the imminent weather. Michael van de Sandt and his team of Mike Beaumont and Gerald Mills were in top form to beat Bob Ford’s team by 8/+13 and Rob Owsley’s team of 4’s was the runner up beating Pieter Stegmann’s team. The winning team took home the SPAR vouchers, thank you SPAR. Thursday, June 16, public holiday has now been dedicated to a new competition “Eastern Areas presidents Day” mixed trips competition with each EA club entering 2 teams and the host club an additional team with the president entering his own team. The comp it played over three games of 15 ends with tea and lunch served between games. It was a very enjoyable day played in fine weather with a three skins scoring system. Albany, Kallie Calitz’s team finished on top after winning their three games played with 27 points. In second place was Kowie’s Michael vd Sandt’s team also winning all their games but finishing two points behind and Dave Lang’s Port Alfred team was in third place on 20 points. Eastern Areas provided three small cash prizes for the top teams. General consensus was that it had been a very good idea for the district to give back to the bowlers in the district and it should Ǧ schools competed in netball, hockey and rugby. St Andrew’s first team rugby boys marched onto the field last Saturday for the ultimate K-Day showdown against the Kingswood firsts. It was St Andrew’s game to win since they suffered a close defeat last year, losing to Kingswood with only one point but, unfortunately, home ground gave the Kingswood gladiators enough reason to pummel the St Andrew’s first team, beating them by 34-22. It was their first victory on home soil (played on Gane Field) since 1962 and, while they faced intense pressure to perform, Captain Olehile Losaba stated in the build-up that the pressure had been a privilege. Ultimately, Kingswood triumphed at City Lords last Saturday in front of the biggest crowd seen at the derby in years. According to Kingswood College marketing coordinator, Mfundo Ncube, the game got off to a flying start, with St Andrews setting the pace and drawing BREAKING THE LINE: Kingswood College first rugby team smashed the St Andrew’s College boys last week in their first victory on home ground since 1962 during last week’s K-Day sports festival first blood with a try from Ross Ferguson three minutes in. Centre Matt Moore made no mistake in converting. Not letting the quick try and conversion break their spirits, the Kingswood boys held their composure and hit back straight away with a try of their own. Kingswood’s Lutho Nomoyi put through a clever grubber for fellow centre Siba Mzanywa to dart through for a try, which was converted by fly-half Weston Pot g i e t e r. BOWLSBANTER ... what’s happening be kept up. Thank you Eastern Areas and this competition will be played at the EA’s Presidents Club on the public holiday. On the same day the club played our sponsored Ocean Basket competition within the club and this was Pieter Stegmann’s day for his trip of Dave Tyrrell and Pam Taylor with a big win over Eddie Hoseck’s team and runner up on the day David Bank’s trip over John Hubbard’s team in a very closely contested game. Both Winner and runner up took home Ocean Basket vouchers. It was a busy bowls weekend with the seven section winners of the EA Men’s Pairs competition heading back to Albany for the playoffs in two sections.

With the bowls commitments we have had to spread the competition over a couple of weeks with our final due to be played on Sunday July 10.. For Saturday’s tab bowls, we played From there on, a nail-biting bat tle followed, and with only 12 minutes from half-time, Lubambo Sibam broke through the tight St Andrew’s defence after sustained pressure on the side’s try line, to put the hosts ahead. This time, Potgieter failed to convert. Five minutes later, St Andrews’s’ Moore nailed a penalty to place them within touching distance. However, Kingswood once again wasted no time responding with Sibam scoring our delayed Courtyard competition and Delene Deenik’s fours of Allan Sheridan, Basil Clark and Pam Taylor were on their winning ways in defeating Tony Brown’s team two points/nine shots under par. Dave Bank’s team defeated Gavin Deenik’s team to take the runner-up spot, but only the winning team took home Courtyard vouchers, thank you Allan.

Tea/coffee CROQUETCORNER ... rolls that count WHAT a great turnout we had on Saturday with perfect weather conditions playing ball for a change. The first day of the B section club championship was played last Wednesday and congratulations to Roger his second try of the game. Potgieter added the extra two points. On the stroke of half-time, winger Matthew Takeloo burst through for Kingswood, handing off two tacklers to score a sensational try. Potgieter converted once more. Moore had a chance to close the gap on the stroke of halftime, but his penalty kick from roughly 40m out went wide. Kingswood went into the break with a 26-10 advantage. Darkes on winning all his matches. A reminder that the club is having a Christmas in July Sunday lunch on the third. Please enter your name on the list on the noticeboard if you want to attend. This week Correen Gie will be going to Port Elizabeth for The second half began as a tough arm-wrestle, although the power of Kingswood’s forward pack was now beginning to tell as they kept making ground charging up field. With only 17 minutes from full-time, Potgieter’s penalty kick increased Kingswood’s lead to 19. Right after the penalty kick, St Andrew’s put the Kingswood defence under sustained pressure for the next 10 minutes, but failed to break through. Then eventually, after a 40m break up field from lock Shane Weweje, Kingswood scored a try through full-back Athi Halom – which Stevens failed to convert. As Kingswood rolled on all seven of their substitutes, the St Andrew’s fullback Ferguson hit back with his second try of the game. Ferguson tried his hand at converting the try, but was unsuccessful. As the clock ticked down, St Andrew’s prop and captain Sazi Sandi scored a consolation try. Moore returned to kicking duties and converted.

They have a safe place to go to – a place where they can play, learn, eat, be watched and be t a ke n care of,” he said. However, the building the daycare is situated in is in a very bad state. In order to improve the facility, a plan has to be worked out and money raised to pay for it, Hooten said. Doing their bit to help, The Stenden Games, which were held on June 9, saw many st u d e n t s participating and raising more than R5 000 for the daycare centre. Hooten’s co- organisers were Marije ter Haar, Floor Nieren and Koen van der Haar. “We are very happy we got the chance to do something for Bessie,” H o ot e n said.
