Indoor Rowing has been introduced to Durban High School this year and the team has got off to a great start.
The team was invited to participate in the Indoor Rowing competition at the KwaMashu Indoor Sports venue at the end of last term. This competition was the first of its kind in KwaZulu-Natal, and it is held to promote the development of Rowing in South Africa.
On the day, DHS was put up against some very dedicated and skilled rowers; however, the team was able to walk away with a number of medals.
In the (Juniors) U16 team: Setjhaba Mathuse was awarded Gold, Lindumkosi Ndlovu was awarded Silver and Steven Jamarie was awarded Bronze.
DHS also competed in an eight man team relay consisting of Setjhaba Mathuse, Lindumkosi Ndlovu, Steven Jamarie, Awande Ndlovu, Ayanda Yengwa, Cailin Mathys, Londo Zungu and Luyanda Koboka.
They competed against several groups one of which was as The Durban Rowing Club, UKZN; however, DHS showed their strength for the sport and took the win, with all rowers receiving gold medals.
“It was a very fun and challenging day for the DHS rowing team and excellent exposure for them to see fellow rowers from around Kwazulu-Natal in their shared love of the sport,” said Leigh-Ann le Roux
(M-i-C of Rowing at DHS).
Well done, Gentlemen. We look forward to watching this sport flourish at DHS!
