Glenwood 1^st XV vs. Michaelhouse

The 1st XV game took place at Michaelhouse this week, under grey clouds and on wet fields. Nonetheless, some fantastic tries were scored by the Glenwood team. Fred Zeilinga got the game off to a good start with converting a penalty. Michaelhouse quickly equalized with a penalty of their own. Sean Ardendorf broke away and managed to off-load to Matthew Torrance, who crashed over the line for the first try of the game, which was converted by Fred Zeilinga. Reece Jeffreys then went on to score a great try, running the ball in over the try line quite easily. Dean Moolman then went crashing over the line, to score Glenwood’s third try. Michaelhouse fought back, and scored a try of their own, on the half-time whistle. Half time score: 24-8.

The second half was much more tightly contested, with both teams putting up excellent defences. The only points scored in the second half, was a penalty conversion by Fred Zeilinga. The final score of the match being 27-8. Well done to the Glenwood boys for an excellent display of High School rugby and well done to Michaelhouse for showing such spirit under pressure.

A special thanks must, once again go to the supporters who gave the players such a boost when needed.

Glenwood 1^st XI vs. Michaelhouse

The final score neing 2-3, with Glenwood unfortunately losing the match.

Cross Country

Glenwood ran at Crawford La Lucia last week Wednesday. The U17 A team were placed first. We have a strong U17 age group, and the boys have done well thus far.

Special thanks must go to Mr B Sibson, whom now helps with the reporting, results and transmission of all activities within the school. His efforts certainly assist me as the web master (and Head

 A special word of thanks must go to Mr B Sibson whom helps me with the reporting, photographing, transmitting and archiving of activities around the school. It certainly assists me as web master (and Head Master!) to get information to the right places quickly and efficiently. Thank you Brett!
