On Friday, 6 February 2026, our Daller athletes showed their mettle at the Sutherland Invitational at Sutherland High School in Pretoria. Against strong competition from the host schools, Rietondale High School, Hoërskool Akasia, Hoërskool F.H. Odendaal and Cornwall Hill College, our athletes showed what Dallers are made of.
Our athletes performed brilliantly and brought home 38 gold medals, 28 silver medals and 22 bronze medals. This achievement reflects not only talent, but also the hard work and discipline with which our athletes approach each training session.
They not only participated - they made their mark and proudly carried the Daller name.
