AFTER the completion of the second term which also marked the end of the schools rugby season, Christian Brothers College (CBC) hosted the 2023 Rugby dinner and prize giving ceremony on Wednesday evening.
The event was attended by many parents, sponsors, guests, staff, well-wishers and the CBC rugby players, who were being commended for their skill throughout the rugby season.
The Guest of Honour was a former CBC student and rugby player, B Moyo-Majwabu, who is said to have given an inspirational speech in which the boys learnt some valuable lessons.
A new captain was also crowned on the night by CBC’s first team, Hornets’ head coach, Nelson Madida and the outgoing skipper, Babongile Ncube. The skipper for 2024 will be Michael Chimedza.
