Queen’s College hosts Youth
Day event for 10 teams
T
HE Queen’s College social
outreach programme,
which involved the
department of sport,
recreation, arts and culture,
had rugby teams from six
schools from Mlungisi and
Ezibeleni facing off on Youth
Day on Friday.
Programme organiser Kaya
Malotana said the Louis Rex, Nonesi,
Lukhanji, St Theresa’s, Sixishe and
Howard Ben Mazwi schools enjoyed
the day.
Six U13 teams and four U12 teams
played, with each team comprising
20 players.
“Breakfast and lunch packs were
provided for all players and officials
and Queen’s College made available
the school buses to pick up and drop
off the children for the event.”
Malotana said the event aimed to
celebrate Youth Day through sport.
“We did not make it a tournament
format so there was not an eventual
winner and each team played once.
“We did not take scores in at the
end of the day because our
emphasis was on enjoyment and
celebration. This also encouraged
the teams to really play in the spirit
of sportsmanship and not with a
win-at-all-costs attitude.“
He said good talent was identified
during the day. The aim is to grow
the event to a three-day festival,
where the teams will play at least
three matches each. – Rep reporter
Hoërskool Hangklip
golf day a success
SEAN HEIDEMANN
THE Hoërskool Hangklip golf day
on Saturday had a field of 61
golfers taking to the greens to
battle for top honours.
The wind tested all the golfers
and at the end of the day,
Michelle Mitchell took the win
with a well-played 43 points,
closely followed by Wayne
Bennett on 41 points on a
count-out from Chicken Meyer,
also on 41 points.
The Hangklip organising
committee made sure that every
player got a prize which was a
really special touch.
Every effort was made to
ensure that the golfers were well
looked after, including a
boerewors roll at halfway, drinks
on the course and even a
lasagne supper before prize
giving.
The golfers have expressed
their appreciation to the school
for a great golf day.
Tonight is the Round Table
steak evening with their golf day
taking place tomorrow.
The golf draw is full but golfers
can phone in their names to the
club in case of any cancellations.
