The Nico Malan Annual Inter House athletics meeting was held on the 26th of January.
Our “Dorp-Lifeguard” team made an impressive entrance, with the help of NSRI Jeffreys Bay. Our Jeffreys Bay team brought their pirates ashore and the hostel took us on a walk to the wildside
At the end of the day our hostel raked in an impressive score of 1446, Jeffreys Bay, 1065 and Dorp 966.
