aheer Jacobs’s life took an unexpected turn last year when he became a father midway through his final year of school. With the right support and guidance, he was able to face his many challenges head-on and become the top-performing Grade 12 student in maths at his school. The 18-year-old Lavender Hill High School matriculant celebrated his victory on Wednesday 8 January and immediately began looking at his prospects. “I love maths. I want to do engineering, so I applied at False Bay College here in Westlake,” he said, adding that the status of his application looked promising. A resident of Lavender Hill, Jacobs had to overcome several socio-economic hardships to attain his matric certificate with a bachelor’s pass, otherwise known as the endorsement or minimum legal requirement to study towards a bachelor’s degree. Being one of 10 people living in his home and witnessing the effects of substance abuse around him, studying wasn’t easy for Jacobs. “It was hard for me in the household because there wasn’t enough space for me to sit and study. And there were some fights. I used to wake up at 01:00 or 02:00 in the morning and sit in the kitchen to go over my work,” he said. Adding to Jacobs’s challenges was the birth of his daughter in June, after which he decided that at-
tending school was not the best way for him to provide for his girlfriend and newborn baby. “He stayed out of school for a month with the idea that he wanted to go work and support the child. So we needed to intervene and help,” explained Greg Philander, youth programme manager at the non-profit organisation (NPO) Philisa Abafazi Bethu. “Our support structure was to get him back to school, to study, and to concentrate on schoolwork while we provided the support in terms of getting the necessary toiletries and baby products,” he added. Jacobs said the experience was difficult for him, but the support from the NPO assisted him in more ways than he could explain. “They helped me to support my child and giving me things so that I could do my work.” Jacobs said he would like to be a role model for young people in Lavender Hill by studying towards his degree and making a better life for his family. According to Philander, there were 12 pregnant teens at Lavender Hill High School last year – a statistic that has remained quite constant for the past 10 years. The NPO, which focusses on community activism, will launch several programmes for parents, the elderly, the youth, school drop-outs, young children and more in the new year.

CAPE TOWN
Minstrels dish out a spectacular T
he Cape Town Street Parade (Tweede Nuwejaar), held on Saturday 4 January, again had thousands of spectators shaking their booties as they watched 42 Kaapse Klopse troupes march by.
People's Post is published by WP Media, a subsidiary of Media24.
Hosted by The Kaapse Klopse Karnivaal Association (KKKA) and supported by the City of Cape Town, the event featured approximately 10 000 individual performers. The groups marched from Hanover Street in District Six, along Darling Street past City Hall and the Grand Parade before taking on a route that came to an end in the Bo-Kaap. The City supported the event with funding, deployment of City services and assisting with logistical arrangements to ensure a safe event.
Mayor Dan Plato said it was a fantastic atmosphere. “The various minstrel groups put on a magnificent performance and ensured that the thousands of people lining the streets were thoroughly entertained. We want to express our gratitude to all those who made the day possible and the troupes for a wonderful event which contributes a lot to the City’s cultural heritage, development and the local economy,” Plato said. Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said the annual street parade is one
of Cape Town’s flagship events. “The City has a vision for the event’s longterm growth and we believe the three-year agreements we signed with some of the organisations are part of ensuring that. This will ensure the event is secure, safe and has certain guarantees which will assist the event organisers in attracting more corporate sponsorship,” he said. The street parade is just one of several minstrel, Christmas bands and Malay choir events that the City is supporting over the coming months.

Matric results show promise for poorer communities On Tuesday 7 January, the Western Cape Education Department minister, Debbie Schäfer, attended the release of the 2019 National Senior Certificate (NSC) results in Johannesburg. “It was a happy occasion and I am pleased that we have improved our pass rate (in the Western Cape) to 82.3%,” she remarked. “I am also delighted with our highest yet bachelor pass rate of 43.6%, a close second to Gauteng,” she added. She congratulated the schools in the Metro North Education District for achieving the highest district percentage pass rate in the province – 86.3%. “This district was followed closely by the Overberg District with 86% and the Eden and Central Karoo District with 84.1%. The West Coast District achieved 83.8%. Metro Central achieved 83.4%, Metro South 81%, Cape Winelands 80.7%, and Metro East 78.3%.” Zwaanswyk High School achieved a 93.4% matric pass rate; with Crestway High School achieving 66.3%; Sibelius High School attaining 72.6%; Lavender Hill High School, 89.9%; Steenberg High School, 74.7%; and Heathfield High School achieving a rate of 75.7%. “As we reflect on the achievements of the Class of 2019, I want to thank all the learners, teachers, district and head office officials and their support teams for their hard work and commitment in making these positive results a reality,” Schäfer said. She added the results indicated that significant progress had been made in improving the education system and learner out-
comes in the province, particularly in poorer schools, since 2009. “Over the past 10 years, schools in Quintiles 1-3 (no-fee schools) have improved their pass rate by 16.7 percentage points from 56.7% in 2009 to 73.6% in 2019. “Quintile 4 and 5 schools (fee-paying schools) have increased only slightly during this same period with 2.4 percentage points from 83.3% to 85.7%. “There is still a 12.1 percentage point difference between our no-fee and fee-paying schools, however, it is a great improvement from the 26.4% in 2009 when this current government took over,” she said. “For those candidates who did not achieve their desired results, there are options. I would encourage all learners who did not pass their exams not to give up and to continue doing whatever they can to complete Grade 12.” Counselling is available for anyone disappointed with their results. They can either approach their school or phone the Safe Schools Hotline on 0800 45 46 47. Those who qualify for supplementary examinations must apply by 31 January 2020. Hard copy applications must be submitted to the Examination Client Centre, Grand Central Building, Lower Parliament Street, Cape Town. Learners can apply for re-marks (R112 per subject) and re-checks (R27 per subject) until 22 January 2020. They can apply using the online service: www.eservices.gov.za.

New liquor store application in Retreat All non-profit organisations, non-government organisations, rate payers and rate payers’ associations, and the community at large are invited to attend a meeting regarding an application that was brought to Steenberg Police Station. The application has been made to open an off-consumption
liquor outlet at shop 1 at 145 11th Avenue, Retreat. Any objection regarding this application can be put in writing and delivered to WO André Vincent Petersen at room 26 at the Steenberg Police Station. He can be contacted on 079 894 1689 or 021 702 9009.
Don’t be overwhelmed by disappointing exam results RACINE EDWARDES @RaeEdwardes Waiting for and receiving their matric results can be an exciting time for learners but for some, the stress of finding out whether they passed or failed may be more than they can bear. The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag), who deal with more than 600 calls daily, have promised to be there for all matriculants after the release of exam results to equip them with the right information to navigate their stress during this difficult time. While the results came out on Wednesday 8 January, Sadag board member and clinical psychologist Zamo Mbele warns family members to be aware of the long time effects. “The impact of that will continue into the future whether it’s weeks or months,” says Mbele. “(In) managing the anxiety and disappointment of poor results, parents and family may first want to be aware of their own response and not put that too onto the learner. “It is also important to distance the result from the person. Failing at something does not make one a failure,” Mbele adds. Between January and September last year, Sadag received almost 180 000 calls to its suicide helpline. The group reported that suicide is the second leading cause of death in youth between the ages of 15 and 24 in South Africa. In addition to the help provided by the group, the Western Cape Department of Social Development (DSD) also wishes to alert all learners and parents of the services that it offers. “Trauma takes various forms and shapes. It is largely out of an individual’s
control when it takes place. There is no doubt that one’s disappointment around their matric results may trigger trauma,” said the DSD’s minister, Sharna Fernandez, in a statement. DSD has trained professionals, who are more than willing to assist those who require psycho-social support during what may be a very difficult time. V The public can access DSD’s services by visiting any of the department’s regional or local offices closest to them, or by contacting the DSD hotline on 0800 220 250.
PRINCE GEORGE DRIVE
Vandalising of traffic signals ‘is a disgrace’ A
fter the three vandalised traffic signals at three consecutive intersections on Prince George Drive (M5) were repaired by the City of Cape Town, vandals have remained true to their word, putting one traffic signal out of order once again. Last year, the signals on Prince George Drive at the intersections of Military Road, Vrygrond Avenue and Capricorn Boulevard North were all out of order, vandalised during violent protests on Thursday 31 October. Before they were repaired, the City’s Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase, said it was too dangerous to fix the problematic intersections. She added: “Those who have been involved in the violent protest have threatened to destroy these signals again should the City attempt to do the repairs.” The signals at the intersection of Prince George Drive and Vrygrond Avenue/Oude Vlei Road in Marina Da Gama were vandalised on Tuesday 7 January. “This is a disgrace,” says Purchase. “This signal was repaired by mid-December 2019, also as a result of vandalism. It is not even a month later and we are now faced with another emergency repair yet again.” The City is calling on residents to help identify those responsible for vandalising
the traffic signal. This is the fourth time in eight months that this signal has been destroyed. According to Purchase, this wilful destruction of public property is endangering the lives of motorists and pedestrians alike. She says traffic flow will be severely impacted this week as most people return to work and with the schools opening for the new year. “Also, every time a signal is destroyed we spend thousands of rands to get it repaired – it is a waste of money and resources that could have been used for other priorities.” Purchase encourages residents to help identify the perpetrators and to report the details to the police or the Transport Information Centre. “I also want to warn those who target our essential infrastructure that we are investigating avenues for installing surveillance equipment at these hotspots so that we can identify the suspects and have them arrested and prosecuted,” she adds. She encourages motorists to take note of the intersection, which is now a four-way stop, so as not to endanger the lives of other motorists.

The December school holiday, when locals take time out to relax on the beach and hordes of tourists flock to Cape Town, is always busy for lifeguards. This season, the City of Cape Town recorded more than 13 fatal incidents on its beaches up to Friday 10 January. Councillor Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health, says: “There were 13 drowning incidents between 23 October and 20 December last year. Of those, 11 happened outside designated bathing areas and one happened after hours.” With the False Bay coastline drawing in masses of people who would like to sunbathe on the iconic beaches lined with colourful cabins, or see the penguins and later take a quick dip, the City reports that a number of incidents took place on these very shores. Badroodien says on New Year’s Day, lifeguards assisted at least six individuals who had either gotten into difficulty while swimming or injured themselves on the beach. “Among them was a 65-year-old woman who sustained a broken leg at St James beach. Lifeguards stabilised her and moved her to the first aid room until an ambulance arrived. At Clovelly Beach, lifeguards assisted two 28-year-old men who
had been caught in a rip current.” For the first time since the 2016/’17 festive season, no fatalities were reported on New Year’s Day. Ian Klopper, National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) Kommetjie station commander, reports their most recent incidents were two kite-surfers who were unable to get their kites back in the air in Misty Cliffs. The two German men appeared to be having difficulty on the evening of Tuesday 7 January and were recovered safely. Badroodien says: “I am immensely grateful to our lifeguards, the other sea rescue and enforcement agencies and, of course, our Identikidz team for the herculean effort to keep the public safe on one of our biggest beach days of the year.” He reported in a statement that 318 lost children have been reunited with their families through the Identikidz tagging system. He adds: “Unfortunately, there have also been several incidents that are of grave concern, including two young girls who were left behind at the beach – their parents only realised that they were missing when they arrived home.” Beachgoers are reminded of the four key messages aimed at keeping them safe: . Swim between the red and yellow flags only where lifeguards are present. . Supervise children at all times. . Beware of rip currents. . Don’t drink and swim.

T
hanks to the City of Cape Town’s Identikidz programme, 318 children who were lost on 16 of the Western Cape’s beaches were reunited with their parents this school holidays. Since the start of the programme in midDecember (“Identikids makes a return to beaches,” People’s Post 17 December), more than 121 335 children have been tagged. The programme, which registers and issues young beach visitors with an identification armband, has grown significantly. Already nearly 50% more children were tagged this season. The City is quick to point out, however, that it is not a babysitting service and should not replace the responsibility of parents to supervise their children at all times while they’re on the beach. City’s Mayco member for community services and health, councillor Zahid Badroodien, says it simply means that should a child wander off, the City is able to find their family. “All the children who were lost on our beaches were reunited with loved ones and to date this year, there has been a decrease in the number of children lost. For the same time during the previous season, 82 519 children were tagged and 523 lost,” says Badroodien. Factors which contributed to children going missing on beaches include: . Children come to the beaches without
parents or an adult; . Parents are intoxicated and don’t realise the child is gone; . Parents who leave the beach without their children; and . Parents do not supervise their children while they are on the beach. In terms of water safety, there have been no further drowning incidents since before Christmas, with the confirmed number of fatalities at 13. “We continue to run awareness campaigns to highlight the most common reasons for drowning, to encourage water safety and provide other important information that may reduce potential risks when swimming. Despite our best efforts, bathers still neglect their own safety and our lifeguards have their hands full keeping everyone safe,” says Badroodien. The programme concluded on Sunday 12 January. The weather is set to remain ideal for the beach as the peak of summer approaches and bathers are reminded to heed the instructions of lifeguards and to obey the rules which are there for their safety. “There are still many beach-going days ahead and I want to commend the lifeguards for a job well done. Visitors to the beach have a role to play and I implore them to remain in the designated bathing areas at all times, swim only at beaches where lifeguards are on duty, and to not drink and swim,” adds Badroodien.

A performance that fascinates T
he Hucksters, an acid-tongued exploration of a casual sexual encounter gone awry, will run at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio for a short season from Wednesday 22 January to Saturday 1 February. The play opened to rave reviews and soldout performances last year. Award-winning playwright Louis Viljoen, known for his bitingly sharp works such The Kingmakers, The Pervert Laura and The Demon Bride, directs the award-winning duo Emily Child (The Pervert Laura, The Road to Mecca, Contractions) and Nicholas Pauling (A Steady Rain, Blue/ Orange and The Father) and Nicholas Pauling. A man and a woman meet after not seeing each other for years and what starts off as a
romantic, booze-fuelled evening, slowly begins to unravel into a psychological mystery as an incident from their shared history rears its head. The mistakes of the past become the horrors of the present as these two broken people dig into their previous lives and the lies that lead them to each other. The Hucksters has been described as Viljoen’s best work yet with Theatre Scene Cape Town calling it a “blistering masterpiece”. Writer and literary critic, Karina M Szczurek, described it as “thought-provoking … fantastic performances. It takes a lot of skill to capture the messiness of human encounters with the pressures of violence, complexity and trauma in play”. Viljoen has won Fleur du Cap Theatre awards for Champ in 2013 and The Kingmakers in 2015, both for Best New South African Script and he was the recipient of the Rosalie van der Gucht Best New Director award for his plays, The Kingmakers and The Pervert Laura. Set and lighting design is by Niall Griffin (Tuesdays With Morrie, The Last Five Years, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hedwig and The Angry Inch). The play contains explicit language and scenes of a sexual nature so there is an age restriction of 18 years. Emily Child and Nicholas Pauling in The Hucksters.

Lighthouse Family to shine at GrandWest The Lighthouse Family will perform in South Africa for the first time at the Grand Arena, GrandWest, on Tuesday 24 March. The band has sold 10 million records over the past 25 years. The duo, Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker, formed Lighthouse Family at Newcastle University in the early 1990s. After releasing three albums, they went their separate ways in the early 2000s. Now, almost 20 years later, they have joined forces again to release their fourth album. Their first album, Ocean Drive, released in 1995, went six times platinum and stayed on the album charts for three years, selling 2.75 million copies. They released their second album Postcards from Heaven in 1997, with three top-ten singles – Raincloud, High and Lost in Space – and two top-30 hits. The album also went six times platinum, charting across Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand; selling four
million albums globally. Their third album Whatever Gets You Through The Day, released in 2001, produced the top-10 single I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be. Three years ago, the two began working on their fourth album, Blue Sky In Your Head. They have produced this with the same team they used when they were at their radio-dominating peak, including Colin Barlow, the talent scout who discovered them, and Keith Armstrong, their first manager. “This is such a good 90s band with so many memorable hits,” says Elouise Matthys, spokesperson for GrandWest. “The frontman, Baiyewu, has an incredible, almost effortless, soulful voice that you can’t help enjoying. I am looking forward to their latest album.” Tickets are available from Computicket and Big Concerts, starting from R515. Doors open at 19:30 and the show starts at 20:30.
Date: 15 February 2020 Time: 09:00 – 12:00 (3 hours) Venue: Hoerskool Jan van Riebeeck, Cape Town Price: R200 Purchase tickets via Webtickets X1VYBUNR-QK140120

Suspect caught with firearm Stop-and-search operations in the Steenberg area paid off on Saturday 4 January at about 22:30 when a 25-year-old suspect was caught with a .38 Special Smith and Wesson revolver with five rounds of ammunition.
Visible policing officers caught the suspect in Sibelius Avenue in Steenberg shortly after load shedding started. The suspect appeared in Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.
Christmas marred by crime Team Juliet, the all-female crew of the Nature Conservation Corporation that are awaiting their first call to fight a fire.
FIREFIGHTERS
All-female crew await the call AVRIL FILLIES
T
he all-female firefighters wild land crew, consisting of 15 women that completed the three month nature conservation programme at Chrysalis Academy, are rearing to go. They are known as the Nature Conservation Corporation (NCC) all-female wild land crew and hail from Capricorn, Retreat, Philippi, Bonteheuwel, Khayelitsha and Mfuleni. “The crew is the result of a successful partnership between the NCC, Chrysalis Academy and the (provincial) department of public works, with support from Vergelegen Wines. The project officially kicked off on 25 November 2019, after a recruitment process was performed,” says Kylie Paul, superintendent of the crew, the first of its kind in Africa. “There were a large number of women interested in the programme and the 15 that graduated were interviewed, performed a fitness test and were then hand selected by a large panel including myself. Every member of Team Juliet completed an elective fire fighting skill phase during their three month programme. All of them loved this part,” she says. Chrysalis Academy is hosting them while they search for accommodation and a base. “We are currently still searching for a home base, looking into many options, but we are lacking a degree of sponsorship on this matter. We are also trying to source a vehicle that could transport us to and from fires. Any support on this from anyone would be greatly appreciated,” Paul says. People’s Post asked why they became firefighters and here are their responses: Zimkhitha Nqetelo (22) from Philippi: “The reason I became a firefighter is to rescue animals and my crew when they need me, also to destroy trees that could be a danger to all of us and animals (widowmakers).” Tarren January (27) from Bonteheuwel, one of the crew leaders): “When I applied to become a firefighter I knew I had to commit myself and that it would positively change my world and my perspective. I always loved being out in nature and exploring the wilderness, also because of my love for animals and new adventure, I decided that being a part of this team, I could contribute by lending a hand to this very important cause. It is an honour to be
Anga Kom and Yandiswa Tywalana keeping up
a part of this mission to save and protect wildlife, as well as human beings – instead of turning a blind eye to the beauty of nature that can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.” Sisanda Bam (25) from Philippi: “I want to be a firefighter to save people’s lives, communities and animals. I also like to work with people.” Sharne Maritz (19) from Retreat: “When I was young I witnessed my community burn down. It was horrible to see people’s lives burning away. Firefighters came but could only save some of the properties and a few people at a time. At that moment I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. Whenever I see a fire-truck drive past me I get filled with excitement, it’s a burning feeling, wishing it was me heading to the fire. Now it is. I can’t see myself doing anything else. I was told I couldn’t be a firefighter because I was a weak woman, yet that did not stop me. It’s tough, dirty, amazing and an important job.” Anelisa Thwasile (23) from Khayelitsha: “The reason I chose to become a firefighter is the love for the job and I am willing to take any chances that may come my way to save the world and to prove to some women and young girls that this is not only a man’s job.” Nyameka Makeleni (25) from Khayelitsha: “A firefighter is the closest thing to a hero. My dream was always serving my community. I am serving my community… I became a firefighter because I love it!” Paul says the male colleagues have been a huge support from day one! “They are so excited to have us and constantly offer advice and assistance in getting started up or on projects. They cannot wait to see us out on the line beside them. The integration with the male contingency has been effortless and really special. “They totally support this project and understand why it is so important. Many of the male firefighters have roots in Working on Fire, where there are male and female firefighters that are integrated into the crews,” she says. Sesethu Stuma (male hotshot, crew leader and very experienced firefighter): “The NCC Juliet Crew, for me, is ready to respond to any fire. From what I saw when working with them on an alien clearing job was that they have the potential and energy. I am looking forward to seeing them on the line.” The women have been undergoing all the relevant wild land and fitness training that is required to perform this highly skilled, amazing and physical job. The crew has officially been on standby and ready to respond to call outs since Thursday 2 January 2020. “We have not received a call out yet, and we have faced some operational hiccups, but are constantly training, studying and eagerly awaiting our first call. As the ladies often say, “When the going gets tough, their fitness. Juliet gets going,” says Paul.

Injury cost him a Dubai debut AVRIL FILLIES
I
t was disheartening for SA Sevens player Darren Adonis, originally from Mitchell’s Plain, when he could not make his debut in the SA Academy team in Dubai last month due to an injury he picked up during training. “The reality sunk in immediately at the training that I could not participate in an event that I was looking forward to. I am sure that each player in a similar position would feel the same way after looking forward to play for their country and picks up an injury before you set foot on the big stage. I was not only disheartened but also frustrated, and discovering that I had a grade two shoulder tear added to the gloom. Beside my better judgement, I actively participated in the third day of the event, leading to two weeks of unbearable pain,” he says. He left Mitchell’s Plain as a child and moved to Melkhoutfontein, a small town about ten minutes from Stilbaai. Here he completed his primary school at the Bertie Barnard Primary School. He did his high school at Oakdale High School in Riversdale.
“After completing my schooling in 2016 I was recruited into the junior team of the Bloemfontein Cheetahs. I was fortunate to be part of the triumphant senior team during the 2019 Currie Cup. I also joined the SA Sevens Team, also known as the Blitzboks, in October last year,” Darren says. He was born into a supportive family and each one played a role in his rugby career. “They not only played a vital role in my journey as a sportsman, but also in my upbringing. If I had to pick an individual that had the most influence, it would be my mother. She has always been an unwavering pillar that I could depend on no matter the circumstances,” he says. Darren’s main objectives in 7s rugby are to play on the HSBC World Series circuit, participating in more tournaments, the Olympics in Japan and hopefully partake in the 7s Rugby World Cup in 2022 in Cape Town. Darren Adonis.
“I don’t really have any hobbies. In all honesty, I have dedicated a great portion of my life to rugby, and by doing so I gave up on the opportunity to find hobbies. When I am awarded ‘down time’ it is spent with friends, family and my partner,” he says. Being small in stature he was constantly told that he would never make it in the rugby world and that is why he admires Cheslin Kolbe. “We are more or less the same build and height. Cheslin was told that due to his physique he wouldn’t amount to much, but he went on to prove all the naysayers wrong. Just look at his performance during the Rugby World Cup in Japan last year. “My experience with the Cheetahs is one that consists of countless lessons, both good and bad memories, lifetime friendships, and most importantly: if you want to obtain good results, you have to work for it. I also played in four Pro14
matches for the Cheetahs,” he says. When he was selected for the academy team he was filled with excitement and anticipation. “Although I could not participate in every game in Dubai it was a memorable experience, especially when we won the gold medal in the international invitational men’s competition. “My message to young players is to never give up. The road to success will never be an easy one. There will always be naysayers and there will always be criticism. It is up to you to decide whether you’re going to allow these bumps in the road to derail you or if you’re going to set your mind to it and never give up,” Darren says. He is currently training at the Stellenbosch Academy of Sports in preparation for the next two legs of the HSBC Series in FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 January; and on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 February in the Bankwest Stadium in Sydney, Australia. These two legs will be held at the end of the month and the team will be announced by the coach, Neil Powell, before they leave our shores.

Load shedding has also taken its toll on softball fixtures of the Cape Town Softball Association, especially the male competition which is played during the week. The second half of the season kicked off with a double header at the Turfhall Softball Stadium in Athlone this past weekend. Westridge Yankees came out tops in the Men’s Major Knockout encounter against Pirates on Sunday. With the score level pegged at 2-2, Yankees came out in full steam in the first tie-breaker innings recording 4 runs. Jason Carelse, with a 0-3 offensive count at that stage of the game, came to light and cleared the fence with 2 runners on base. Pirates could only reply with a solo run, giving Yankees a 6-3 victory. Not to be outdone by their male counterparts, the Yankees Women Super League team beat arch rivals Falcons in a marathon game lasting nearly four hours. Yankees, after 5 tie-breaker innings eventually ran out 4-3 winners. Lavender Hill easily defeated Tantasport 7-0 in the other Knockout game. Glenthorn A’s are slowly finding their feet when they inflicting a surprise 6-2 defeat on Westridge Yankees in an exciting Super League game on Saturday. Lavender Hill Softball Club meanwhile is continuing in their quest for their maiden
Super League honours when they defeated a lack-lustre Falcons 7-0.
