Michael Lewlyn Phillips (1983-1986) On the 13th June 2001 Michael was tragically killed when his car left the road,notfarfrom his home in Umhlali. Michael was born and brought up in Hillcrest where he attended Highbury and later Kearsney. Having represented South African Schools at hockey,he continued to keep his hand in the game and was instrumental in making the annual Old Boys vs the School hockey match, held on Founder's Weekend,what it is today. Fittingly the trophy for this event is now dedicated to his memory. Michael's commitment to his school and friends resulted in his election as Chairman ofKearsney Old Boys' Dolphin Coast branch,a position he held until his untimely death. How fitting it is that his memorial service was held at Kearsney, a place that meant so much to him.Michael was involved in property for several years before he married Bridgitte and settled in Umhlali, to pursue a farming career. Not long thereafter, both were blessed with the arrival ofGeorgina, their precious daughter. Michael was a man of absolute integrity who lived and loved life with passion. He will be remembered for his commitment to his family and friends and sadly missed by all ofthose who knew him.

His love of rugby was rewarded with Natal Schools'representation and at athletics he won the 100m and 200m. Although so keen on sport, Craig's greatest ability was with people.He had time for everyone and amongst his friends at Kearsney were members ofthe ground,house and kitchen staff, juniors and seniors. His loyalty to his friends was legendary. Before his tragic death, Craig was studying 162 BCom.at Durban University and had passed his mid-year exams.
