Saturday saw the opening encounters of the 2009/2010 school basketball season. The Kearsney basketball teams travelled to sleepy hollow for the encounter in their first tester as a team, since the matic’s from the first term would not be playing. It is always difficult to play at St Charles but for once the hostile crowd did not materialise which made things easier but did not lessen the nerves of the two young teams.

Pietermaritzburg Girls High School hosted another successful all girls basketball event in which they ended up the winners by defeating long time rivals Pretoria High School for Girls in the final.

Here is the tournament report provided by Val Fowler who takes time to organise the tournament every year and makes sure that it continues to have the success that it has had over the years:
