Lowveld High School (LHS) proved to be a force to be reckoned with when they won 10, and drew one of 17 games against Sybrand van Niekerk this past weekend.
The host, LHS first netball team, thrashed Sybrand with 36 goals. The latter only managed to score 14 goals against the
50 of LHS.

It was, however, a completely different story on the rugby field. None of Sybrand’s team were able to secure a win. Most teams, with the exception of the u/15s who lost by 22 points, were beaten by between 41 and
64 points.
