Football

This year was tough on the football front. While we managed to find ways to practice and play a few internal ‘non-contact’ matches, it was not the same as experiencing a full-blown football match against other schools. Nevertheless, our boys remained positive, and their enthusiasm was infectious.

Since football is classified a contact sport, we participated in many online quizzes and competitions, and the boys (and staff) enjoyed this different side of the game. We all learnt about the history of football in a way that we had never really thought of previously.

With COVID regulations relaxing towards the end of the year, we were fortunate to play an inter-school fixture against The Ridge. We all definitely appreciated the game much more than we had previously - we learnt to not take things for granted and to value the activities we are able to take part in. The enjoyment on the boys faces during the match, and their excitement at playing the game once again was simply priceless.

A big thank you to the sports department is warranted for their out-of-the-box thinking, creativity, and flexibility during these tough and challenging times.

Yours in football,

Mr T Nkabinde
