Good day. On this past Saturday it was derby day when Despatch travelled across the Swartkops river to play their old enemy, Muir College.
Normally there is a bit of niggle between these two teams but in this game that was played in rainy, wet and muddy conditions both teams came to play rugby and not each other. The game was high scoring and a great pleasure to watch as both teams tried to run the ball at each opportunity resulting in a high scoring game that Despatch won 32-29, a true reflection of the game.
But, and there usually is a but, the end of the game was soured by the Muir College bio-kinetics teacher, Mr Moodley, who took on the ref with all his venom in front of parents, visitors and pupils and this was an embarrassment to watch. As one of the Despatch parents remarked, this person is an embarrassment to Muir College. And I must say as a parent of Muir I was really embarrassed to watch how he carried on. Shame on you Sir. As parents we entrust our children to your care. You should be ashamed of yourself. Perhaps it is time for us to look elsewhere for our children’s education.
