FEBRUARY 2019 WEEK 4 – TERM 1
Our 1st XI extended their winning streak to 11 games in a row, this time with victory over Michaelhouse in the KZN Inland Finals of the CSA Schools T20 competition! The Saints are now through to the Dolphins Franchise Final against Westville Boys on Friday, 22 February. With recent wins against Grey College, Maritzburg College and Hilton College, the Saints look to keep up their great form against Westville in the upcoming provincial clash. We wish the boys and their coaches, Mr Cole-Edwardes and Mr Dladla all the best for the final.
Saints Boys make it 11/11

Saints U15A fast bowler, Sam Ndlovu, has enjoyed a bright start to his high school cricket career. As a new
ball bowler, he has bowled fast and accurately and his left arm action often has batsmen in strife. He took
four ‘four wicket hauls’ in his U14 season, but on
Saturday 3 February at the Durban Collegians Oval, he
took a career best, 6 wickets for 15 runs! It is also a
record for our U15 age group, breaking previous record
holder, Cameron Brown’s 6/50 including a hatrick against
Kingswood in 2013. The Saints cricketers gathered at the
Indoor Cricket Centre this
week to acknowledge the
change to the record
boards. Adding to the
occasion was the previous
record holder being
present to shake hands
and personally
congratulate Sam; as
Cameron said, “Records
are meant to be broken
and it is exciting to see the
next wave of Saints
cricket talent coming
through”.

Our Prep School was excited to welcome the Dolphins Cricket Team on to the Saints Oval this morning! The boys had the opportunity to hear from the team and get a few signatures before some of our boys headed on to the field to enjoy a bit of batting and bowling with the players. Thanks so much to the Dolphins for taking some time out of their day to visit us at St Charles College!
During January, due to the bulk earthworks near the Coach House, Summer Hospitality was dispersed by
placing some braai’s around the fields on game days. For the remainder of our summer Saturdays, the
Saints Hospitality at the Coach House will resume as normal. The intention is to create a lunch time
option for all parents and supporters to socialize in a relaxed environment on campus. This applies mainly
to teams that play all day cricket; however, parents of all teams (cricket and basketball) are welcome to join
in.
Each week the Saints Sports Department will extend the invitation to our opposition so that they can inform
their parent community. General details are as follows:
Fires will be provided (these will be lit at 12:30pm)
Refreshments will be available for purchase – cash only (please support our Old Boys Club)
SCC will provide salads, rolls and disposable plates. Please bring your own meat, cutlery, braai tongs etc.
Please note that the Coach House will close after lunch in accordance with the playing times
SCC Coaches and players involved in all day cricket games will go to our dining room for lunch
We encourage you to join in on Saturdays and get to know the other parents in your son’s team. We also
look forward to creating a welcoming and hospitable environment on campus for all our visitors. For parents
who live further away and are not able to support every weekend, you can follow sports updates on the
twitter handle @Saints_Sport as well as cricket live scoring on www.websports.co.za
(search for St Charles).

St Charles College were clinical in beating a strong
DHS side high in confidence after a couple of
outstanding results this season. The hosts won the
toss and chose to bat, which suited the visitors as
St Charles College would have opted to bowl first
anyway. A terrific opening spell by Cameron
Spangenberg, 3 – 28, saw the hosts reeling at 70/7
at the half way stage of their innings. Unfortunately,
St Charles College were not able to finish off the
job and were made to bowl out their 50 overs after
some defiant batting from the DHS lower order.
Needless to say, St Charles College would have been
happy with their bowling and fielding, requiring only
146 to win off 50 overs to win.
After taking two early wickets DHS would have thought
they were firmly in the game, but a gritty and
determined batting performance by opener, Kyle
Moodley, 25 retired hurt, aptly supported by the stroke
making pair of Jason Login, 31 and Wes Madhevere,
53 not out, saw them take the game away from DHS
and stride to victory in the 32nd over and win by a
comfortable 6 wickets.
Results in brief: 1st XI DHS 146/10 (Spangenberg 3/28). SCC 150/4 (Madhevere 53*). SCC won by 6 wickets. 2nd XI DHS 99/10 (Ras 4/53). SCC 101/5. SCC won by 5 wickets. 3rd XI DHS 40/10 (J du Plessis 4/5) SCC 42/2. SCC won by 8 wickets. 4th XI DHS 43/10 (Laskey 3/3, Chetty 3/8). SCC 45/1. SCC won by 9 wickets. U16A SCC 297/5 (Botha 92, Raw 82, Lutge 48). DHS 98/10 (Erasmus 3/28, Botha 3/32). SCC won by 199 runs. U15A DHS 98/10 (Ndlovu 6/15). SCC 100/2. SCC won by 8 wickets. U14A SCC 174/7 (Urquhart 83). DHS 170 (Ritchie 4/28). SCC won by 4 runs.
The Saints travelled to Durban on Saturday to take on long-time rivals, Durban High School. On what can only
be described as a blistering hot day, the two first teams took to the court at 12:30. The game was a tight affair
throughout with both teams battling to shoot from the perimeter due to gusty wind conditions. As a result, the
game became about getting to the hoop and both teams altered their defences to prevent close range shots.
Heading into the fourth quarter, it was the DHS team that held a slight lead. The Saints did rally behind some full
court pressure which cut the lead to 4 points with five minutes remaining on the clock; however, DHS managed
to consistently make baskets down the stretch and ultimately maintained their lead. With time running out,
St Charles College was forced to foul and stop the clock but DHS were excellent from the free throw line and
eventually finished with a comfortable 10-point win, 75 – 65.
Results in brief: 1st Team SCC 65 – 75 DHS U16A SCC 52 – 42 DHS 2nd Team SCC 25 – 15 DHS U15A SCC 26 – 30 DHS 3rd Team SCC 35 – 15 DHS U14A SCC 35 – 11 DHS 4th Team SCC 26 – 28 DHS

The SCC U9s played in their first hard ball cricket matches
which turned out to be very successful. The U9B team won
their fixture in the 16th over chasing 33 runs with Aiden
Marian being the pick of the bowlers taking 5 wickets for 6
runs and Letho Ngcobo taking 3 wickets for 7 runs.
The U9As had an exciting encounter against Cowan House
to win by 4 runs. The SCC U11B team had a 58 run victory
which saw Nzuzo Gaston taking 4 wickets for 15 runs.
The Saints U11As won by 8 wickets against Cowan
House with Connor Vogt taking 3 wickets for just 10
runs.
The Open age group also had a successful week of
cricket with all the teams recording victories. The 6th
side won convincingly with Mbhele Ntshangase
scoring 50 not out. The SCC 5th team also proved to
be too strong for their opposition to win by 123 runs.
Zuko Nkosi scored 34 runs while Grayson
Groesbeek chipped in with 31 runs. Siphesihle
Dlamini was the pick of the bowlers taking 4 wickets
for 13 runs. The 4ths won by 3 wickets with Ujjval
Nirghin scoring a quick fire 30 runs off 15 balls.
The Colts won their fixture by 78 runs. Oliver Chapple top scored for the team with 66 runs not out and Chuhal
Pillay made 50 runs not out. The Saints 2nd team won by 7 wickets which saw Kaden van Greunen scoring 57
runs not out.
The Prep 1st eleven batted first and scored 297 for 5 in their allotted 45 overs. Connor Riley top scored with 71,
Marcel Wellmann contributed with 57 runs not out and Stefan Veldsman scored a quick fire 49 runs. The Prep
boys then bowled out their Cowan House counterparts for 53 with Cian Fortmann being the pick of the bowlers
taking 4 wickets for 21 runs.
Well done to all our Prep cricket players this past week. We look forward to hearing more great team results and
individual performances this coming week. – Mr Chad Barron

John Burchmore (Grade 12) was invited to participate in the Natal Midlands Tennis Trials between top U19
school boy players on Tuesday, 29 January.
In his first round of matches, he dominated the court, winning his initial matches 9-0, 9-0, 9-0. After tea he faced
the winners of the other groups. There are some very tough opponents in that class from other schools such as
Michaelhouse, Hilton College and Maritzburg College. There were ultimately 20 players in the U19 group from
over 10 participating schools, and home schools.
True to form, John won these challenges too, not dropping a single match. Walking away with a resounding
victory based on amount of games won, he was soundly out of reach with a solid lead of 9 games above his
nearest competitor across his matches. This secures his invitation to the KZN Trials in early March when he will
play for a spot in the provincial side to compete at a national level.
We wish him the best after all his hard work in training! – Mr Stuart Orwin

Last week Tuesday the Saints A swimming squad travelled to Howick Prep to swim in a mini gala. It turned out
to be a successful outing for our SCC swimmers, finishing 3rd overall. The U11 age group impressed with a
number of first place finishes while both the U9 age group and the Open age group boys achieved podium
finishes. Well done to our all our A squad swimmers, keep up the hard work at training.

Earlier this week some of our St Charles College Prep boys joined forces
with girls from St John’s D.S.G. and participated in the Top 10 Gala at
Wembley as a combined school. This differs from our usual mini galas as
each boy competed in all four strokes over a distance of 25/50m in an
individual event. The swimmer with the fastest total time in the combined
four events determined the winner of each age group. Our overall scores
were then combined with the scores of the St John’s D.S.G. girls and we
were determined the overall winners of the gala. Well done!
Congratulations to Connor Vogt (U11), Trent Chubb (U11) and Grant
Bridgeford (Open) who placed first in their respective age groups.

The Junior Primary boys are learning about ‘Emotional
Intelligence’ throughout this year. We are teaching them to
recognize their own emotions and those of others. We feel that it
is extremely important to not only discern between different
feelings but to be able to name them as well.
The goal is to help them to manage and express emotions
appropriately and to handle interpersonal relationships both
maturely and empathically. These boys were awarded a ‘Golden
Heart’ Badge for demonstrating a pleasing EQ, during our
Wednesday assembly.

The Grade 10 History boys visited the Durban Holocaust and Genocide Centre with Mrs Joubert on Wednesday, 6 February, and were able to learn valuable life skills such as compassion and empathy. They were guided in the museum by a Jewish volunteer and were presented with information about the Second World War and the consequences of the Holocaust. They were able to interact with the education officer in the meaningful programme presented to them and were able to see a replica of the Anne Frank room and interpret artworks drawn by survivors of the Holocaust.
The Science and Engineering club has started the first term
by looking at the science behind crystals and how they are
used in our everyday life. Crystals do not just have aesthetic
value but also have a
fundamental role in
science. Crystal structures
were used in the
determination of the
chemical structures of
cholesterol, penicillin and
vitamin-B12 as well the
double stranded nature of
DNA. Crystals are used in
most of our electronic
devices as single crystal
silicon and also in liquid
crystal displays (LCD)
screens. Crystals can also
change the nature of some
of the food we eat.

The boys in the science club had the opportunity to experience this first hand when they were given the
opportunity to make their own ice-cream. If the crystals in their ice-cream were small then the ice-cream
had a smooth, creamy texture but big crystals resulted in a coarse and icy quality.
The boys also had a competition to see who could grow the largest crystal of the best quality as judged by
their peers. Boaz Hansen (grade 11) and Emmanuel Faluade (Grade 11) came in first position with a large,
well-formed crystal of Epsom salts (MgSO4) with Tristan Stielau (Grade 10) taking second place.
