DHS Badminton Team Wins SA Schools!

DHS Badminton Team Wins SA Schools!

Date: 2016-08-19
The SA Schools Badminton Tournament was recently played from 6-8 August 2016 at Durban High School, in association with the KZN Badminton Association.

Representatives from 19 schools from SGBA, EGBA, NC, FS, WP and KZN, participated in the tournament, with 18 boys and 16 girls' team.

The expectation on the DHS team's performance was very high; one for being the co-host and the other for being the defending champions. "I can proudly say that our team did not disappoint and the outcome bares testimony to that," said Charles Moodley (M.I.C: DHS Badminton)

The DHS team, made up of Tonderai Ndudzo, Mikaeel Mirza, Nischay Jairaj and Jaydon Beru, won the preliminary and the play-offs quite convincingly and the remarkable win in the semis vs Westville Boys' High earned them a spot in the finals where they encountered Fichardt Park.

With a nerve wrecking start to the finals, DHS were a set down and the boys had to search deep within themselves to find the determination and skill to turn the tables, which they did to emerge victors and thus retain their title.

Going forward, DHS now have the opportunity, together with the girls' champions from Jim Fouche Ho'rskool, to represent SA at the Badminton Confederation Africa Schools Tournament in December this year.

"The victory and success of this tournament would not have been possible without generous sponsorship from Peppers & Pans, South Coast Bus Service and KZN Badminton Association; dedication and guidance from both of our provincial coaches Ivan and Emelda; and the support and encouragement of our Badminton Parents and the Staff and learners of DHS," Moodley added.
