Curro gears up for sports festival with impressive wins
Curro Salt Rock's netball and hockey teams prepared for their upcoming sports festival with excellent wins on Thursday (May 8).
Preparation for the festival, which will be held at Curro tomorrow (Saturday), went well after wins for the 1st team netball and hockey sides against Kuswag Skool and Scindia School, respectively.
The girls' netball teams competed against Kuswag in the afternoon, winning two of their five fixtures against the Amanzimtoti school. The U14A and 1st team both won close-fought games by two points. The U15, U16 and 2nd team were all on the wrong side of tight matches.
Curro executive head, Mr Sean Friedenthal, was effusive with his praise on how his teams carried themselves on the field of play.
'I am incredibly proud of our netball and hockey teams for their outstanding performances and the true spirit of sportsmanship they displayed while hosting our visiting teams,' he said.
'It's always inspiring to see our learners not only compete with heart and determination but also welcome their opponents with respect and grace. Moments like these reflect the strong values we nurture at Curro Salt Rock – unity, resilience, and a passion for excellence.'
