The big day arrived, our 1st match! Unfortunately the boys lost 35 - 24 to South Bellville Secondary School.
We did not start well!! I think the boys were shocked by how fast the opposition were. Everytime we let them have the ball it seemed that they might score. Their fly half and full back were unbelievably quick and we did not put enough pressure on them. (Dad's helping me now!). We also gave away a lot of penalties and did not learn how the referee was playing the contact area. However in the second half, the boys got into their stride and we comfortably won that half!
Elliot Q, James DC and Alex B scored our three tries while Sam Q slotted over a penalty and three conversions. Thankfully there were no injuries. We all enjoyed an after match tea and enjoyed getting to know the opposition a little better.
After this we set off to Langa Township where we had a guided walking tour. Followed by an amazing lunch at Shelia's Cafe.

During lunch we were entertained by a local band who were fantastic and really amused the boys. They even joined in with the singing. I have the evidence on video!
Then it was back to the hotel for a freshen up. Some Boys may have watched the test match SA V NZ before an evening at the Waterfront!
