The 2015 Sportsmen’s banquet is always the highlight of our sporting calendar as this event enables Northwood to honour our students who have participated and achieved in their various sporting codes.
The “never-say-die” attitude of our boys has ensured that our 1st Water Polo team recorded a memorable win over Clifton, our Northwood Surfing team won the KZN Schools Surfing Championship again and our Chess team won both the Durban and District Chess Tournament as well as the KZN Top Schools Tournament. The list continues with the Northwood Cycling team winning the KZN Inter Schools Eliminator Series and our 1st Indoor Hockey team won the KZN Indoor Hockey League for the third time in four years. Many Northwood boys did us proud by being selected for various National Teams, High Performance Camps or Squads.
We take this opportunity to thank the MIC, Coaches, students and parents for their support and commitment to sport at Northwood.
