In an unprecedented weekend, Westville won every fixture against DHS, both on the rugby field, and on the astro turf. What made the hockey scores remarkable was that Westville scored 39 unanswered goals in the 5 matches, with the 1st team trouncing their Durban rivals 9-0.

The 1st team rugby halted the DHS winning streak, which saw them beating Michaelhouse, Clifton, Kearsney, Maritzburg College and Glenwood in as many weeks.

In a highly entertaining and closely contested match, Westville scored early with a brilliant try by left wing Habana Mkwanazi, followed by a difficult conversion by Dylan Coombe. DHS answered with their own try and the game saw one-score separating the teams throughout. With minutes to go, Westville were trailing by 7 points, when right wing, Jono Reynecke went on an explosive run,  scoring an unconverted try in the left corner. From the kick-off, Westville immediately went on the attack, and from the ensuing play, were awarded a penalty. Dylan Coombe held his nerve in injury time and converted the penalty, to win 25-24.

Scrum half, Dylan Coombe, kicks a penalty to beat DHS 25-24.

To round off an incredible weekend of sport, Westville also enjoyed a clean-sweep in their filler fixtures against Glenwood, Ashton College, Hilton College, Northwood, Curro, Kingsway, Pinetown and Kingsway, with tennis, squash and badminton winning all their matches, and the volleyball teams narrowly lost 1 match. The overall stats of the weekend read; 47 fixtures played (across 6 sporting disciplines), Westville won 45, drew 1, and lost 1.
