BASKETBALL
If there’s a basketball programme in KZN that’s been on the move and making the biggest strides in recent times, it is, arguably, Westville Boys’ High’s. With wins over Northwood and DHS among their results this term, the Griffins’ 1st team has proved itself to be one of the best units around. On Saturday, they enhanced their record, scoring a narrow 64-61 win over a talented Michaelhouse team.
The majority of the wins went Westville’s way, with their under-16A team continuing an exceptionally strong season with a 36-point victory. It was only in the under-14 age group that House held the advantage, but Saturday was something of a statement for Westville.

CRICKET
On the cricket front, Michaelhouse enjoyed an excellent day out. Their 1st XI, which has played well this term, recorded a solid win over a good Westville outfit.
The Balgowan school also dominated the open age group, but Westville’s under-15A team powered their way to a big win.
The match of the day, undoubtedly, was the under-14A clash, which went the way of Westville by one wicket.
