The 2025 St David’s Summer Festival has come and gone and despite some unseasonably cold and rainy weather on the Highveld, it all came to a glorious conclusion on Sunday with a thrilling (rain-interrupted) under-18 final of the Fasken Inanda Hoops basketball tournament.

As if organising a four day-event across three sporting codes, involving close to 1000 players and over 100 officials wasn’t difficult enough, Saturday dawned cold and misty, with intermittent rain throughout the day, and Sunday’s final basketball game was suspended due to a thunderstorm, with just four minutes remaining on the clock.
