Curro Salt Rock Fast 5 netball teams make strong start to season
The talented Fast 5 netball stars at Curro Salt Rock kicked off their season with good performances at Hoërskool Suid-Natal last weekend. The tournament in Port Shepstone on Saturday morning (August 2), brought together some of the top regional teams from KZN for a day of fast-paced competition. Despite the early start with travelling involved, Curro's players brought their A-game to the courts, showcasing teamwork, resilience and skill across all age groups. Special mention must go to the U16B team who were the only 'B' Team to compete in the 'A' League. The team won one of their four matches, but the three close-fought defeats were all within a few points. 'It was a remarkable achievement that highlighted their strength and potential,' said school spokesperson, Cindy Carbutt. Netball Tournament Results First Team vs Gelofte Skool: Lost 5-10 vs Hoërskool Suid-Natal: Lost 7-11 vs Kingsway High School: Won 14-3 vs Port Shepstone High School: Won 14-5 Under 16A vs Gelofte Skool: Lost 6-13 vs Hoërskool Suid-Natal: Lost 8-18 vs Kingsway High School: Won 13-6 vs Curro Salt Rock B: Won 9-6 Under 16B vs Gelofte Skool A: Lost 5-12 vs Hoërskool Suid-Natal A: Lost 6-12 vs Kingsway High School A: Won 9-7 vs Curro Salt Rock A: Lost 6-9 Zuleika de Lange (1st team), Michelle du Plessis (U16A) and Luca Groenewald (U16B) were voted Players of the Day for their outstanding performances, leadership and their impact on the games. Rugby While the netball girls headed south, the Curro Salt Rock boy's rugby teams travelled north for the Hoërskool Richardsbaai 7s Tournament. The teams faced strong opposition and had a challenging time, but showed resilience and glimpses of promise that will be built on as they prepare for an upcoming tour to Vryheid. U15 Results Curro Salt Rock's U15 side were missing a number of key players and were forced to field several athletes with limited game time. While the scoreboard did not reflect the boys' courageous efforts, the tournament provided an opportunity to expose and nurture less experienced players in a competitive setting,' said Curro head of rugby, Sifiso Shabangu. Game 1 : Lost to Mandla Mthethwa (5-10) : Lost to Mandla Mthethwa (5-10) Game 2 : Lost to Pongola Academy (0-30) : Lost to Pongola Academy (0-30) Game 3 : Lost to Felixton College (0-38) : Lost to Felixton College (0-38) Game 4: Lost to Hoërskool Pionier (0-38) 'Effort and courage never waned,' said Sifiso. 'Both are vital ingredients as we aim to rebuild and regroup for the tour ahead.' U18 Results Curro's senior boys also faced stiff competition, playing four highly physical games. Much like the U15s, the U18 squad was short of a few regulars and had to rely on squad depth. Despite this, the boys showed admirable fight, especially in the narrow loss to Pongola Academy and the well-earned win against Mandla Mthethwa. Game 1 : Lost to Hoërskool Pionier (5-28) : Lost to Hoërskool Pionier (5-28) Game 2 : Lost to Felixton College (14-34) : Lost to Felixton College (14-34) Game 3 : Lost to Pongola Academy (15-17) : Lost to Pongola Academy (15-17) Game 4: Won against Mandla Mthethwa (21-12) Standout performances came from Raelyn Govender and Chase Killian, who brought intensity, leadership, and creativity to the side's efforts. 'Their composure under pressure and ability to spark momentum were highlights of the U18 campaign,' said Sifiso. Looking Ahead While results didn't go Curro's way, both teams have clear working points to focus on. 'The tournament was an important step in testing our structures, broadening player experience, and sharpening combinations,' added Sifiso. 'With Vryheid on the horizon, the boys are hungry to bounce back, and with continued effort and belief, there is every reason to be optimistic.'

Sundowns thump Richards Bay to setup MTN8 semifinal clash with Pirates
Despite their dominance, the home side struggled to carve out clear-cut chances as the match progressed. However, they did increase their lead in the stroke of half-time after an own goal by Simphiwe Mcineka, who turned a Teboho Mokoena's low cross into his own net to head into the interval in control of the match. The Natal Rich Boyz started to push forward in the final stages of the first half, but struggled to get any shots on goal. Sundowns were not done yet as they continued where they left off, and Rayners would complete his brace almost immediately after the restart when he was sent through on goal by Arthur Sales and slotted in at the near post. There was still time for more as substitute Siyabonga Mabena scored the fourth goal after his shot outside the box deflected into the goal. The Natal Rich Boyz continued to struggle and hardly tested Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who was reduced to a spectator. This win by Sundowns may have sent a statement that they are hungry to win this title.

Selfless Orlando Pirates' new captain Nkosinathi Sibisi enjoying the fruits of his labour
BAFANA Bafana defenders Nkosinathi Sibisi and Mbekezeli Mbokazi have bee appointed Orlando Pirates captain and deputy ahead of the new season. | BackpagePix Image: BACKPAGEPIX Not in his wildest dreams did Nkosinathi Sibisi imagine it'd get this big. So, after surpassing his expectations, the 29-year-old credits patience and hard work. Sibisi was officially announced as the club captain of Orlando Pirates early this week after a secret voting process by his teammates. He will join an elite class of former captains which includes club legends Lucky Lekgwathi, Happy Jele and Innocent Maela. Sibisi admitted he wasn't expecting such a prominent role at the club, insisting he arrived as someone who only wanted to realise a childhood dream and play for the team. 'It is a great privilege and an honour for me to be the captain of such a big institution, Orlando Pirates,' Sibisi explained. 'As a young boy, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be able to play for the club - let alone captain the team. So, it's an honour and a privilege.' Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Sibisi wasn't handed a golden spoon at Pirates by virtue of supporting the club, he had to work his way up the corporate ladder - like at his former club. The KwaZulu-Natal-born defender was one of the last players to be promoted to the first team at former club Golden Arrows, despite leading the reserve team to the title in 2018. And that's not all. His inclusion in the Bafana Bafana set-up, amid limited game-time at Pirates in recent years, was under heavy scrutiny. But such has been his ability to remain patient, support those who were ahead of him, and continue working hard, Sibisi is now enjoying the fruits of his labour for club and country. 'Patience is a virtue,' said Sibisi, who also captained Bafana in the last camp. 'It's not about being on the pitch. How can I put it? I don't know the actual words to say it. 'You can also be playing while still outside. If you are pushing the guys that are on the inside then you are helping, so that's been - how do I call it? - my role. 'I have gone through that in my career, starting by supporting others. But whenever I get my chance, I grab it with both hands.' Sibisi has duly grabbed his opportunity with both hands in the last few months. So much so that he was also voted as thePSL Defender of the Season on Tuesday night. 'It's a great feeling,' Sibisi said of the recognition. 'But like I said, I was up against quality players who had great seasons for their respective clubs. 'We've grown a bond among each other from the national team. I am close with Grant (Kekana), and I speak with Thabo (Moloisane). 'It's an honour, and really nice to be recognised among so many good players. It just shows the hard work that one has put in, we are now reaping the fruits.' 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟓 𝐏𝐒𝐋 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 🏆 Congratulations to Nkosinathi Sibisi — Betway Defender of the Season ⚫⚪🔴⭐#OrlandoPirates#OnceAlways — Orlando Pirates (@orlandopirates) July 29, 2025 Sibisi knows that his job will be cut out for him more now that he's wearing a lot of caps, and that's why he must be at his best at all times. His first assignment is to ensure that he leads the team to a record-extending fourth MTN8 crown in a row. A feat that's exciting him, instead of scaring. 'When you've won it three times in a row, you don't forget the feeling. You want to do it for the fourth, and fifth time. It's a feeling that you don't want to lose,' Sibisi said. 'It's just for us to defend what's ours, and be in the history books. I think the game from Saturday will be a good test for us coming from pre-season." Pirates will face Polokwane City when they begin their MTN8 defence in Orlando, and Sibisi has described what it had been like working with new coach Abdeslam Ouaddou. 'I can't really go much into it,' Sibisi said. 'There are new ideas, which are completely different to how the former coach wanted us to play. 'So, I think it's a matter of adapting to what he wants and trying to apply that to the best of our abilities.'
