Andrew Edwards, U/15 Rugby Captain 2009, accepted the Richard Hamburger Trophy for Team of the Year at the recent Prize Giving at Bergvliet High. This trophy is in memory of the late Richard Hamburger who taught at Bergvliet High from 1976 - 2003.

Bergvliet High School has been on two sports tours over the winter months. The 1st rugby, soccer, netball and hockey teams went through the Garden Route all the way to Port Elizabeth, where much fun was had. The full report can be viewed here

The U/14's went on tour in the course of the third term. They went through the Garden Route as well and had a fun filled time as well. The full report can be viewed here

There are photos from the tours in the photo gallery. Go to 2009 and look for Winter Sports Tour to see them.

This year the U/15 A rugby side has had another spectacular season with no games lost. They only played 9 games because of matches being cancelled, but when they played they gave of their best. 　

Their new coaches, SP Blakely and Sean van Duiker, taught the boys in a fun way and had a challenging task trying to off load all their knowledge of the game. 　

The biggest wins of the year were against Pinelands High where the score was 52-0 and Collegains where it was 42 –5. The closest games this season have been against Reddam and Westerford, where the points’ difference has been 12 in both cases. 　

The captain, Andrew Edwards, and Edwill Godfrey were the top try scorers scoring 13 and 7 respectively. The fly half and kicker, Leighton van Wyk converted most of the tries. 　

A few talented players went to Western Province trials and Andrew Edwards made it to the final round. Jason de Stadler made it to the second last trial. 　

Our most improved players this season were: Thomas Warne, Phelo Mfini, Leighton van Wyk, Robby Watkins and Keegan Steenkamp. 　

I know that the school and the players are hoping that the team carries on with its winning streak next season to become the first team in the history of BHS to win the Grand Slam right through the junior stages.
