Basketball
There was little to separate Westville and DHS on the basketball court as the schools engaged in back-and-forth clashes during the week.
The Griffin, though, captured victory in the 1st XI game thanks to a far higher free throw percentage than one usually sees in the South African schoolboy game. Clearly, they have spent many long hours practicing their shooting from the line. On Wednesday, it was a decisive factor in a hard-fought and narrow win.

Cricket
On the cricket fields, Westville enjoyed much the better of the matches. In terms of quality through all of the age groups, they’ve shown themselves to be one of the stronger schools in South Africa, never mind in KwaZulu-Natal, in recent seasons. It showed against the Horseflies.
