Being a fairly new sport at the school,it is in the process ofgrowing and finding its feet.Interest shown by the boys was so great, that with our present facilities we were unable to cater for all those who wished to play the game. Our senior teams have been most fortunate this season in having the expert coaching services of Jonathan Lowe, Kearsney Old Boy and current Springbok player, who came up once a week from Maritzburg to put the boys through their paces. It was not very long before the effects of his coaching began to reflect in match results. The School's first hockey tour took place at the end of June, when the 1st XI played three matches in the Transvaal. Apart from gaining valuable experience, the team returned unbeaten. This was a fine achievement as all three matches were against long-established hockey-playing schools. Hockey is essentially a team game, but mention must be made ofthe outstanding performances of the 1st XI capitain, T. Rawlins, who scored no less than thirty-one goals during the season out of forty-one scored by the team. We congratulate him on playing for the Natal Schools XI against a S.A. Country Districts XI at Stanger. During the season we entertained two visiting teams, Athlone High School from Johannesburg and St. Andrews College from Grahamstown. In both games attractive hockey was played and spectator interest was high. Our performance against St. Andrews was particularly creditable, as they have a reputation of being a hard side to beat. The standard of play of our 2nd XI was high, and augurs well for the future. D.B. and J.L.H. 92
