BASKETBALL
Northwood performed strongly in the Saint John’s Basketball Tournament in competition with the best schoolboy basketball teams in South Africa, Evidently, the sport is in excellent health at the Durban North school. The 1st team finished ninth overall and notched up a number of good wins, but the Under-15 team stole the spotlight with a character-filled effort that culminated in them finishing in fourth overall. They were just one or two breaks away from competing for the title.
