The U15's were coached by Mrs S. Rushton. The Ul5A's were put into the A-league, which proved somewhat daunting. In the circumstances the girls coped admirably and played well to beat Springfield A and Wynberg A. The team benefited from the high standard of play and should fare well next year. The U15B had a fair season and gained valuable experience. Their matches were all played with enthusiasm and in a good spirit. Three Ul5's, Claire Robinson, Ursula Van Heerden and Samantha Lawrenson attented a special coaching course held at Wynberg Girls' High. This year saw the introduction of an U14 league. Matches began midway through the season. Many of our players were beginners and coped very well. They were coached by Miss K. Baxter who managed the dif- ficult task of teaching the basics of hockey with much skill and patience! The U14's fared well and many of them will strengthen the ranks of the Ul57s next year. Finally, a big thank you to our greatest supporters - the parents! We really appreciate your help in trans- porting Qoften at unearthly hours on cold Saturday morningsj and loyally supporting the teams. S. Rushton Teacher-in-charge Girls' Hockey

GIRLS' HOCKEY 1988 Another successful hockey season has drawn to a close. This year we fielded 5 teams, playing in the following leagues: lst - lB league 2nd - 4th league UISA - UIEA league Ul5B - U14 - Ul 5C league Ul4B league The season was characterised by enthusiastic play and good practice attendance. lst TEAM The season started with the first team tournament at Pinelands Club on 16 April. Here it was proved that Muizenberg would be a force in the 1B league this year. The matches against Westerford and Voortrekker were won 1-O and 3-0 respectively. We lost narrowly by 1 goal against both Rustenburg and Pinelands. These results did the school proud, consider- ing that Westerford, Rustenburg and Pinelands all play in the lA league, with Pinelands having been lA league winners in 1987! after the great performance the week bef01'e, Weltifklgd Springfield with too much confidence and, 0 5' match by one goal. The season continued OH thls note one week the team would play excellent hockey and the next it would be a different story. At the Clld Of JUHC Muizenberg had notched up victories against Voortrek- ker, Camps Bay, Table View and Windsor. The only other defeat was suffered at the hands Of Grootte Schuur. Unfortunately the second half of the season was not as successful as the first with Muizenberg going down to Springfield, Grootte Schuur, Jan van Riebeeck and Windsor. The matches against Table View and Camps Bay were drawn. The match against Camps Bay was a Cliffhanger which could have gone either way and which produced the best hockey this team played this season. Muizenberg was eventually placed third in the league. Vie say good-bye to a number of matrics who have served the side with distinction, namely Jane Innes and Linda Bosch, Captain and Vice Captain respectively, Debbi Meyer, Tina Atkinson, Candice Phillips and Sandra Gaven. However the numerous promising under fifteens joining the Senior ranks in 1989 should ensure an exciting and challenging season next year. G.

1 1 Q 'L I' RUGBY 1988 'lf ' . l ' Q A In r fl H :iii 1 Ii Rugby is alive and well at Muizenberg. We fielded four teams in 1988 - more than some schools twice our size. We are severely handicapped by having only one field available for practices, but plans are being made to develop the open space to the east of the school into a second field. So many things are happening at Muizenberg at the moment that our staff resources are under extreme pressure and it was gratifying to see so many parents willing to help with coaching. I would like to make special mention of Mr Gerald Musikanth, who with the assistance of Mr Vernon Loker, turned our U15's into one of the most respected teams in the peninsula. I would like, also, to thank the brothers Adriaanzen, Neville and Rodney, for their invaluable support both on and off the field. These men are worth their weight in gold! Finally, I would like to record my thanks for the work done by my colleagues, Mr Richard Peter and Mr Marius Havenga. With the enthusiasm they have generated the future of our national sport at Muizenberg High School looks rosy indeed. S. van Wyk SENIOR RUGBY The season started on a high notewith a 16 - 10 win over Florida Park High from Johannesburg, followed by a narrow 9 - 13 defeat away to Camps Bay. In the next two games it was obvious that the first team was not going to be easily beaten this season. Simonstown suffered their first defeat to Muizenberg on their home ground in some 13 years. The game was fast and enter- taining and Muizenberg ran out winners by 17 points to 11. In our first official home match we beat Stellen- bosch 18 - 6. At this stage our morale and commitment was at a peak. Unfortunately we had two relatively easy home matches cancelled by opponents and spent 3 weeks without a game. Our riding mood was dampened, which showed in a 0 - 28 defeat by a strong Table View. To add to our woes, 4 team members played with bouts of 'flu.The first half of the season ended on a low note with an against-the-run-of-play 6 - 24 defeat by St. Joseph's. The 2nd half opened optimistically by losing narrowly to St. Davidls of Johannesburg 14 - 22. Once again we were drawn against midweek sides and had to travel ticularly disastrous trip to J an Kriel did all but dlsslpate our spirit. The following week we managed YO end OUT losing streak by accounting for De Grendel 10 - 8. In our first home game in nearly a month we unluckily lost 0 - 6 to Fairmont after spending almost the entire game in their 25 yard area. Our spirit had returned with 3 vengeance. An encounter with a strong Constantia side in pouring rain saw Muizenberg play some of the best rugby of the season, winning 7 - 4 and dominating the game throughout. The climax of the season was a final home game against Simonstown who were itching for revenge and played with an urgency that few teams would have matched. They deserved their 12 - 4 victory. The tradi- tional Old Boys match was the usual power and ex- perience against youth and speed. The Old Boys put up a game second half performance to win 12 - 22. long distances after school to fulfil these fixtures. Apar For the first time we took part in both Villagers and Hamilton's 7-a-side competitions. We showed ourselves to be a particularly effective 7-a-side outfit with good victories over Voortrekker A C15-61 and Westcliff C16-103. Unfortunately we were drawn against Bishops B with two Craven Week players and lost 6 - 18. Against Sea Point we lost Gary Prinsloo with a broken nose and played with only six men, finally losing 4 - 10. Congratulations to Gary Prinsloo, Shea Spooner and Craig Knipe on merit awards. Gary and Shea were both inspirational and dependable in the team. Our im- mediate future looks positive with the success of our under fifteen team and the Stayers edging out the Leavers by 18 - 17. We were fortunate in not having too many injuries and our final turn-out statistics were as follows: Fullbacks: Andre Adriaanzen, Chad Johnson. Wings: Paul Bevan, Sean Fish, Clinton Louw. Centres: Shea Spooner, Nelson das Fontes. Flyhalves: Craig Knipe, Peter Herweg. Scrumhalves: James Sweetman, Craig Knipe and Garyn 'O'Brien. Props: Marcus Elvin, Glenn Salmon, Jason Viljoen.
