Triple victory for Ballito Dolphins Rugby Club

Sporting their brand new rugby kit, the Ballito Dolphins rugby boys ran out onto the Sugar Rush Park field this weekend ready to battle it out against PMB Collegians for their second home game of the season.

The warm weather and fast-growing Dolphins Clubhouse attracted a massive crowd who cheered the boys on throughout the games, starting with the junior Ballito Dolphins curtain raiser, followed by the senior second and first team games.

The new 2019 season kit, which was handed out by renowned rugby player Craig Burden prior to the festivities, definitely gave the boys a good boost, with both the senior teams and junior team winning their games.

Try scorers for the first team were Wandile Khushu, Sandile Biyela and Joey Mpyana, and for the seconds, Gary Cameron, Dillan Bronkhorst, Mike Cumming (2) and Bhekhani Dlamini.
