Rising Stars of Northwood Hockey
Northwood School in Durban has become a buzzing hub for hockey enthusiasts after a standout season that saw its athletes and coaching staff shine on both domestic and international stages.
Among the standout performers, forward Luc Boyall distinguished himself as the third‑highest goal scorer at the recent Inter‑Provincial Tournament, a testament to his skill and the school’s developing talent pipeline.
Guiding the next generation, Justin Collins, the school’s Director of Hockey and head coach of the SA U18 side, blended strategic insight with grassroots passion, earning respect from players and rivals alike.
The school’s influence expanded further when Cameron White, Ryan Mbamba and Ryan Willis earned spots on the South African national squad, competing in a high‑profile series in Zimbabwe. Their participation culminated in a decisive match against the SA U17A team, underscoring Northwood’s reputation for nurturing top‑flight talent.
With a growing roster of promising players and a coaching staff that bridges local development with national ambition, Northwood School is poised to continue shaping South Africa’s hockey landscape for years to come.
