BASKETBALL
What an atmosphere at St Charles College for their 1st team showdown with Maritzburg College on Saturday! Big ups to both schools for their lively, adrenaline-pumping support.
Throughout the first quarter, Saints and College went at it point-for-point, but the red, black and white broke it open in the second quarter and never trailed again. Every time it appeared as if Saints were about to make a run at them, College responded to keep the home team at a distance.
It was an entertaining clash, made that much better by the outstanding support for both schools.
Down the schedule, the competition between the two Pietermaritzburg schools was keen, with the under-16 age group, especially, delivering plenty of drama. College won the A team clash by a single point, Saints took the B team win by two.

CRICKET
Late afternoon rain and bad light, unfortunately, brought a premature end to the match between the two 1st XIs, with Maritzburg College probably feeling they had the better of the contest.
St Charles’ teams have been turning in winning performances week after week, though, and that continued down the open age group. They also won the u15A and u14A matches comfortably, but College responded with a victory in the u15B clash and three wins at u14 level.
