Us VR SURFING 1988 saw the emergence of surfing as a school sport. Some 42 boys participated and two teams competed on a regular basis. 'Surfing has become a highly competitive sport and the structures for competition are many and varied. At school level we have challenges on a weekly basis in order to determine the school teams. Both school teams are entered in the South Peninsula Schools League and at present we are still undefeated. The highlight of the surfing year was definitely our per- formance at the Western Province Interschools com- petition. This annual event is the major event of the surf- ing year and some 30 teams from schools throughout the Western Province entered. Our senior team was placed 8th overall, with Alistair Pepper being placed 6th in the individual competition. The junior team caused an upset when they defeated strong opposition and won the junior division. Richard du Preez was placed 3rd overall and Lance Newton 5th. Lance was further chosen as a reserve for the Western Province side. There are still three major events planned for the re- mainder ofthe year as well as a tour early in 1989. To all who helped make this such a notable year thank you. Keep surfing. M. Havenga KNEEBOARDING REPORT Muizenberg High is one of the two leading schools in this fast growing sport. The Cape Kneelo Club held an interschools kneeboard- ing event in September and the Muizenberg team were beaten only by Wynberg Boys High. The team event consisted of four-man teams with the Muizenberg team consisting of Duane Bosch, Patrick Burnett, Edward Bremner and Jacques Beukman. Duane, Patrick and Jacques have all been regular competitors both locally and nationally during the year. Duane has done very well in scoring high placings in these competitions as well as having been chosen as a reserve for the Western Province junior team. This year's interschools had an entry three times that of last year but it looks as though Muizenberg will remain as one of the leading schools in this sport. K.

.m A ' TABLE TENNIS Under 19 League The Under 19A team enjoyed a very successful season and ended second in their league, Rondebosch were once again the winners. The team, comprising Rowland Graney, Paul Lane, Sean Fish and Leon van Schoor won 11 of their. 16 matches. Parting with Rowland, Sean and Leon is really sweet sorrow, for they have for years been the backbone of a formidable team. Thank you for your loyalty and for the marvellous spirit you engendered. We shall miss you badly and next year's A team will have their work cut out striving to maintain your high standard. I really must single Rowland out for special praise. He played outstanding table tennis, and with his talent and impeccable sportmanship he earned the respect of his fellow-players. He is unquestionably a worthy recipient of the Honours Award. The Under 19B team, made up of Marcus Elvin, Tony Sutter, Robert Damstra, and David Romaine won seven and drew five of their nineteen matches. We bid farewell too to Tony, and I fervently hope that next year's players will be dedicated and will work at their game to produce table tennis of high quality. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Mrs Rault who took on the burden of all the organisation during my absence in the second term. I want to thank her especially for her outstanding and valuable press reports on the Under 19A matches: these were read with great interest, appreciation, and admiration. Thank you too to Mrs Van Rensburg who was so helpful to Mrs Rault during the second term.

Under 15 League n The under 15 Table Tennis teams rank second to none in terms of sheer enthusiasm and dedication to their game. From the early hours of the morning, through breaks, until late in the afternoon, the sound of table tennis balls could be heard echoing in room 101. Throughout the season there was keen competition to earn a place in the teams, and it was particularly gratifying to see both boys and girls gaining places in the teams. Both the U15A and U15B teams consisted entirely of Standard Six pupils and thus the players were SOmCWh-Ht younger and less experienced than their opponents. Both teams were, in fact, completely outclassed by the highly skilled and experienced Rondebosch and SACS teams. However, the U15A team more than held their own against the other schools and, despite a gruelling season of 20 matches, they took 93 games to come a well-deserved third in the league. The Ul5B team strug- gled to find their feet in the first half of the season, tak- ing only 16 games, but they persevered and in the second half of the season they settled down to play steady games, taking 39 games and ending fourth in the U15B league. These young players must be complimented on the way in which they played as a team and, generally, in a spirit of excellent sportsmanship. They have set a high standard, but, with a full season under their belts, one which they will no doubt surpass next year. I wish all the players the best of luck for next year and hope to see them at the top of the league tables. J. Rault
