HS RUGBY

Once again Durban North College had a successful season. We had three
teams that played this year, namely a 1st team, a 2nd Team and an u/15
team.
The u/15 team showed vast improvement from where they stared at the
beginning of the season. Their best game of the season was definitely their
match against Crawford La Lucia. They won the match by showing a lot of
determination. The boys showed that through hard work and dedication
you can improve as a team. We want to thank their coaches Dian Herbst and
Blake Loeve for their commitment towards the team and the school.
The first team also grew as a team. We won 5 of our 9 league games. All the
games were close hard games. The games that we lost were close games
that we could have won but unfortunately a rugby ball is not round.
The highlight of the season was definitely the opportunity the boys had to
play at Kingspark Stadium in a curtain raiser for the Sharks. This was a huge
experience for the boys and they will remember it for a long time.
The other highlight of the season was our final game of the season against
the highly rated team of New Forest High School. We went into the game as
the underdogs. The DNC boys had other plans and played their best game
of the season. We won the game 31 – 10.
