M.C.O.B.A

MARITZBURG COLLEGE OLD BOYS ASSOCIATION
O.C HOCKEY PLAYERS EXCEL!

O.C SHOWS HIS COLOURS!

Justin Domelo (2005), Rene de la Peyre (2010),
Darryn Gallagher (1995), Grant Glutz (2011) and
Matthew Guise-Brown (2009) were part of the
hockey team who played at the 27th Summer
Universiade in Kazan, Russia in July 2013. South
Africa finished 8th overall at the games.

O.C. Pilot Michael Agnew (2011) and Mike Sidowski (Navigator) entered
the Race of Champions (Air Race). On the last leg of the race back
to Ulundi they received a mayday call from a fellow competitor whose
engine had failed and who was heading for an emergency landing in the
Umfolozi River.

Our O.C. hockey players continue to do well and
represent various teams around South Africa –
testament to the fine grounding in the sport which
they have received at Maritzburg College.
Southern Gauteng: Tommy Hammond
Western Province: Brad Logan
KZN Raiders: Taine and Wade Paton

Pictured below are just a few of our O.C Hockey
stars at the Men’s IPT.

They identified the aircraft and followed them down until they had carried out an emergency landing on a sandbank in the river. They then
placed their race on hold while they circled the downed aircraft relaying
information to the race organisers.
They waited for the rescue
helicopter to get airborne
and get to the scene to
pick up the air crew, before
continuing on to the finish in
Ulundi.
They finished 36th after the
loss of thirty minutes while
they waited for the helicopter to rescue the air crew.
Pictured here is Michael (in
blue), his navigator and the
aircraft they flew in.

RODERICK CONTINUES TO IMPRESS
Old Collegian Gareth Roderick (Maritzburg College 1st XI 2008-2009)
continues to impress. The following is taken from Cricket News ESPN
Cricinfo.htm
“Gareth Roderick gave another demonstration of his
batting talent with a second
first-class century as
Gloucestershire comfortably batted out for a draw on
the final day against Essex
at Bristol.
The young South African
wicketkeeper top scored
with 136 as the home side,
set 432 for victory, closed
on 355 for 6. Skipper
Michael Klinger hit 62 and
shared a second wicket
stand of 137 with Roderick, who also hit a ton in
the previous game against
Kent...”
Rene de la Peyre, Andrew Manson, Grant Glutz
and Marc Fourie were selected for the SA Under 21 - Cricket News ESPN
