The players displayed an incredible level of skill and determination; their practice sessions were paying off. Unfortunately, Hilton, Westville, and Clifton proved to be too strong for us. Going into the second part of the season, the boys exhibited tremendous resilience and were committed to each game, refusing to concede defeat easily. Despite numerous challenges and setbacks, the team’s unity and perseverance remained unshaken. A special mention must be made to the matric players whose dedication and leadership were exemplary. They played with passion and contributed significantly to the team’s overall performance. Although the season has concluded, the valuable lessons learned and the spirit with which the boys played will undoubtedly endure beyond the pool.
