Drummie-Springbok

    Two of Van Reede-Drummies from the 2009-team participated at the Springbok team trials in Durban over the December-holidays and both girls, Lindel Piedt and Jonelle Philander, received their Springbok-colours.

    Van Reede is super-proud of Jonelle, since it is the first time ever that a primary drummie-team from SWD is being represented in the Springbok-team. Well done, Jonelle. The 2010-season starts 29 May with the SWD-competition.
