24 Jul, 2018

A total of 24 soccer teams participated in the 10th edition of the Dick and Enid Eyeington tournament which was played on Waterford campus on Saturday 21st July 2018.

It was a great sunny day and both men and women teams, including Waterford alumni, students, staff and friends of the school, played in the tournament. At the end, Hawane and Swazi MTN came first in the men and women tournaments respectively. Speaking during the presentation at the end of the tournament, Waterford’s deputy principal (pastoral) Donovan King thanks all the teams for participating in this year’s tournament. “Lastly, congratulations to the winners,” he said.

 Dick and Enid Eyeington joined the Waterford family in 1971 as a geography teacher and school nurse respectively. They worked at the school for the next 24 years, during which Dick became the Head of the Geography department, Deputy Headmaster and ultimately he was appointed the Headmaster in 1984. As Dick rose in the ranks, he continued to be an avid football player and coach. Enid was very involved in the community that Waterford is situated in. By 1993, Enid was counseling and educating those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and introducing home based care systems in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).

The 7 a-side football tournament is in the honour of these two brilliant souls who helped shape education and healthcare not only in Eswatini, but in multiple African countries as well.
