The 1966 Rugby tour to Durban officially
started as tbe train pulled out of Cape Town
station on Friday, 24th June.
On our arrival in Durban we were taken in
pairs to the homes of the Port Natal pupils where
we stayed till tbe Tuesday.
On Monday morning the team was taken 011 a
bus tour of Durban. One of the main features of
this tour was, I think, a visit to the Indian Market.
It was here that a friendship was struck up
between Des, Mike, James and Agmat, the most
unforgettable character we have ever met.
The match on the Monday afternoon against
Port Natal was played in hot dusty conditions.
The Scbool forwards, as in the other two games,
rose to tbe occasion. They got the good ball
time and time again, but unfortunately the backs
could not capitalise on tbis asset.
On the Tuesday we were taken by car to
Durban Boys' High which was in tbe process of
celebrating its centenary. I am sure tbat all
Wynberg boys wish to congratulate D.H.s. on
their wonderful achievement over the years.
On the same day the team was taken on a
tour, by launch, of Durban harbour.
In the match against DH.s. we lost 10-0. This
score is in a sense a poor reflection of the game.
Throughout we played good rugby, but failed to
take advantage of the opposing team's mistakes.
Botb teams played good, clean, open rugby and
the ball was given plenty of air.
On Thursday we were picked up by bus and
taken to Kearsney College where we played our
last game of the tour. That evening we were
guests at a film show. .
We were extremely unlucky to lose the Kearsney
match. We were leading 9-8 when, one minute
before the end, a Wynberg player was seen to go
off side. An easy penalty kick took the game out
of our hands and we went down 1.1-9.
And so the tour came to an end. Now only
tbe memories of probably the happiest eleven days
ever spent by any of tbe players, come flashing
back to us.
This tour could only have been possible through
the hard work of Mr. Oostbuizen, Mr. Tasker,
our coaches, and Mr. Morr.is who did a lot of
work behind the scenes. I am sure that all members
of the touring team would like to join .in
thanking the three of them for making tbe tour
tbe success it was. For they are jolly good fellows.
