“Their first game was against Rondebosch Preparatory School for boys, and they lost 1–9. But this did not discourage them. They came back stronger, they listened to their coach, dug deep and showed pure grit and determination, resulting in them getting into the semi-final,” said the school.
The semi-final was against South African College School (SACS), and DPHS earned a place in the final against Rondebosch.
“The final score was 5–10, but [DPHS] were over the moon with this result. Rondebosch Preparatory School confirmed that this was the highest number of goals scored against them to date,” concluded the school.
