I saw Melo on Monday at his extra Maths lesson and he is really determined to do better in his June exams. He was selected to go to WP trials for Craven week on Tuesday but to his great disappointment, he remained on the bench and didn’t get any game time. With his strong character, I’m sure he will recover from his disappointment and not let it affect his state of mind for exams. On a happier note, he played for the SACS 2nd team against Rondebosch last Saturday and they won – huge smiles all round!
I also had a brief catch-up with his Mom who assures me they are all well and that Melo’s brother, Lusanda, has recently returned from the USA so he will be attending Melo’s rugby games once again. SACS are playing Paarl Gym this coming Saturday 25 May and their last game of the term on Saturday 1 June is the usual Classic Clash against Wynberg – both games are being played at home at SACS. For your interest here below is the rugby schedule for the third term.
