Creston celebrates proud moments
Creston's 1st XI Football team displayed grit and determination in the Curro Halala Cup opener at Curro Hillcrest. Although the result wasn't in their favour, the match (streamed live on SuperSport Schools) was a proud moment for Creston.
High school learners explored post-school opportunities when the energetic 3RC Rocking the Future Roadshow visited the school, gaining valuable insight into careers and tertiary education.
The Junior Primary hosted a heartwarming Mother's Day celebration filled with love and laughter. And making history – the U9 Rugby team secured a 10–5 win against Suid-Natal in Creston's first-ever match at this level.
Also, Grade R teachers were thrilled to receive the 'Out of the Blocks' movement kit, designed to boost early development through physical activity.
Movement supports not only physical health but also brain development, emotional well-being, motor skills and social interaction. The kit promotes fun, active learning through outdoor play, games, dance and more, setting the youngest learners up for success.
Meanwhile, the high school Esports team stepped into the virtual arena for the Curro Clash: Minecraft Duos. Competing against Curro Midrand, Curro Waterfall and Northern Academy, teams had just 30 minutes to build around the theme 'South African Street Festival'.
Creston's duo impressed with a vibrant Divali-inspired design, demonstrating creativity, teamwork and cultural pride under pressure.

Jozi Cup 2025 heats up as winter's biggest cricket tournament continues
The country's biggest winter T20 club cricket competition, the Jozi Cup, is in full swing, bringing together over 130 teams in a celebration of grassroots talent and community pride. Now in its fourth season, the tournament began on May 11 and is scheduled to conclude over the Youth Day long weekend from June 14 to 16. Endorsed by Lions Cricket, the Jozi Cup is more than just a tournament, it's a community-driven initiative aimed at developing talent across age groups, from U11s to over-40s. The event also features blind cricket teams and players from the Telkom Talent Acceleration Programme, making it one of the most inclusive tournaments on the cricketing calendar. According to Tournament Director Reuben Mandlazi, more than 300 matches have already taken place, with fierce competition on display. 'The tournament has been on fire,' said Mandlazi. 'We've seen tight contests between bat and ball, several centuries and five-wicket hauls, and tremendous support from families and communities. For me, that's a sign of real success.' Standout performers so far include: U11: Pieter Kallis – 168 off 58 balls (15 fours, 15 sixes) U13: Gerhard Botha – 5 for 6 in 4 overs U13: Tatenda Mari – 5 for 4 in 4 overs Senior Men's: Neil Timmers – 110 off 48 balls Women's: Fay Cowling – 95 not out off 66 balls, plus 2 wickets for 15 runs Mandlazi highlighted the commitment shown by players, scorers, and organisers. He admitted that challenges such as last-minute venue changes required quick thinking and solid partnerships, but added that the teamwork behind the scenes has been inspiring. 'Everyone involved in this cricket carnival does so with pride,' he said. 'Whether it's players walking out with purpose or families cheering from the sidelines, the energy around this tournament is heartwarming.' The Jozi Cup forms part of Lions Cricket's pipeline to grow the sport at club level and develop future stars. 'We don't lose, we learn,' Mandlazi concluded. 'And with the finals just around the corner, I'm confident we'll deliver a spectacular ending to a phenomenal season.'

High-profile players excel at recent Bowls SA Women's Open
This past weekend, Championship Sunday at the Bowls SA Women's Open didn't disappoint once again as the leading players battled their way into contention with the hopes of being crowned South Africa's best for 2025. South Africa's newest Open Singles champion is Bridget Herselman, who took some time off on Mother's Day to edge 21 year old Leila Snyman in a true spectacle of a finale. Herselman,, herself only 27 and a mom of little one, rose to the occasion in a match that looked like it could go either way throughout the contest. Eventually, it was Herselman who managed to prevail in the race to 21. Snyman showed her good form once more in the final and was up at the halfway stage but quite never far enough to make Herselman doubt her drawing abilities. Herselman, who has been something of a stalwart in the national setup, will now get to test her skills in the World Champion of Champions after finally relegating her young opponent 21-18. Another top South African performer Anneke Scheepers managed to ensure another gold medal return. Scheepers was eliminated by Snyman in the last eight of the Singles and lost in the semi-finals as a skip in the Fours leaving her Pairs campaign as her last chance. A 24-7 win over Esme Kruger and Lara York laid the platform for a resounding 27-6 over Claire Cowan and Elma Louw – ironically, the remaining members of Scheepers and pairs partner Megan Ferreira's Fours side. Those big wins sent Scheepers and Ferreira into the final full of confidence and it showed on the greens at Dellville Germiston as a comfortable 22-14 win followed in the final. Anneke Scheepers and Megan Ferreira won the Pairs title Remarkably, the Women's Fours final featured the two teams that faced off for gold last year. And once again, it the team skipped by Tracy Meyeridricks with Taz Bright at third and Charlotte Rossouw and Colleen Marshall in the front that managed to be the last team standing after a 22-18 win over South African international Esme Kruger and her team of Lara York, Ina and Rolinda Fourie. Ina Fourie replaced Nan Roos in the only change to the silver medallists. The attention now turns to Port Elizabeth as the Men's competition begins on Saturday, 17 May. Women's Fours Gold: Meyeridricks, T / Bright, Taz / Rossouw, Charlotte / Marshall, Colleen (Sedibeng Rolbal/Bowls / Henley on Klip) Silver: Kruger, Esmé / York, Lara / Fourie, Ina / Fourie, Rolinda (Eden Bowls / Hartenbos) Women's Open Singles Gold: Herselman, Bridget (Sables Bowling Association / Leases) Silver: Snyman, Leila (Sables Bowling Association / Krugersdorp) Women's Pairs Gold: Scheepers, Anneke / Ferreira, Megan (Western Province Bowling Association / Goodwood) Silver: Mostert, C / Gardiner, Verinia (Ekurhuleni Bowls / Benoni) Women's Veteran Singles Gold: Pretorius, Denise (Bowls Gauteng North / PHSOB) Silver: Mills, Cherry-Ann (Ekurhuleni Bowls / The Lake) Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
