Wynberg Cricket’s U15A delivered exceptional performances throughout the first term of 2023, remaining consistently in the top three on SA School Sports regularly updated national U15 cricket ranking. While WBHS’s 1^st XI didn’t fare as well as their younger ‘brothers in an endless chain’, the U19A finished off the southern suburbs with edge of the seat wins over traditional rivals Rondebosch and Bishops, but with unseasonal rain cancelling the final clash vs SACS.

Inbound tours have returned in force this year with WBHS welcoming teams from the UK along with out-of-town visits from Affies, Grey College, St Stithians, and Grey High – and these all after the successful 1^st XI & U15A Peninsula Cricket Festival that set off the season in the week before schools reopened for the 2023 academic year.

Chess: WBHS Takes Gold at the Grey College National Schools Tournament – February 2023 Our First and Second teams played in the A section of the tournament (26 teams) and our Third and Fourth teams in the B section (34 teams). The quality of Wynberg chess shone through with our A team winning the A section and our B team placing fourth. In the B section, our two teams earned a bronze medal and seventh place respectively. The first team must be commended for only losing 3 points during the entire tournament, compiling 15 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their 20 games.
