GALLERY: Plenty of DHS passion at Derby Day clash
Thanks to Sarel Cilliers for a well organised day filled with lots of excitement and enthusiasm.
Rugby
All the teams played well and did considerably better than last year.
Unfortunately, the scores don’t reflect the passion and persistence of each player on the field. DHS is extremely proud of all the athletes who played till their last shred of energy left their muscles! U/14 lost 0-83, u/15 lost 12-15, u/16 lost 7-20 2nd team drew 3-3 and the first team lost 43-3.
Hockey
All the DHS hockey players had a lot of enthusiasm and emotion as they prepared for their last game of the 2016 season. They were extremely excited to start their games. The hockey coaches at DHS are very proud of their young athletes who have grown into beautiful young ladies and gentleman on and off the field. DHS is also proud to announce that the u/16 hockey girls are undefeated for the 2016 season. This is a wonderful achievement and the school hopes to see this accomplishment continue for years to come. U/14 lost 0-3, u/16 drew 0-0, second team lost 0-2 and the 1st team lost 0-1. The boys played very well and managed to score a goal but unfortunately the final score was 1-1.
