Northwood qualified for the night league final last Wednesday when they had a convincing 4 – 1 win against Westville.
Tylo Remke was the hero of the day when he scored a hat-trick with the other goal coming from an unlucky Westville defender.
The result means that Northwood will have a chance to defend their title when they meet Kearsney in the final on the 12 June.

On Friday 10th of May, Northwood A Team surfed round three of the KZN School Surfing League at Dairy Beach as solid groundswell began to fill the Durban bay with perfect lines ahead of the weekend. The boys enjoyed being able to compete in some more powerful surf and Northwood took advantage of the good conditions from the very beginning with Bevan Willis posting the top scores in the heat with his first two waves. There were head-high rights coming off the dairy bank and a reforming end-section at the southern end of the beach that Umthombo worked wave after wave to try and take the lead, but the disciplined Northwood team knew what they had to do and followed through.
HEAT RESULTS
1. Northwood A 25
2. Umthombo 21.3
3. Ashton College 18.8
4. Westville B 8.2
Top Surfer – Bevan Willis of Northwood

On Friday Northwood C Team surfed round two of the KZN School Surfing League against more experienced competitors. This eager Junior- team, showed spirit and managed to catch their requisite waves well within the time limit and without any penalties in very small conditions. While the savvier competitors picked off the longer cleaner walls of the lefts, breaking away from the pier, the team needed to reconsider their strategy and make careful wave selection a priority as they had plenty of time to do this. Only time in the water under competitive circumstance will teach you this. There is still time for the team to get this right. But well surfed especially, Michael Smit, who was Northwood’s top surfer.

The Northwood 1st hockey team had to show character and determination when they played to a 1 – 1 draw against the highly rated Rondebosch team on Wednesday morning.
Northwood started the game brightly when some great build up play saw Steve McManus score a fantastic deflection goal to put Northwood one ahead. After conceding, Rondebosch played with a greater tempo and created a number of chances but could not capitilise. Northwood also had a good chance saved on the line by the Rondebosch defenders but didn’t create many chances without the influence of their inspirational leader Matthew de Sousa who is still recovering from an injury received during the Maritzburg College game.
The second half saw Rondebosch take control of the game and eventually they scored the equaliser through a well worked goal. After this the game opened up and both teams created some good chances but neither could grab the winner.
