It was certainly a good year for the guys from KwaZulu-Natal, with the Sharks overcoming the Bulls in a Currie Cup semi-final that stimulated a plethora of bad bee jokes, as the match was late by a swarm of the insects. The men in black and white then overcame Western Province in the final. The Bulls, though, continued to control the local rugby scene, being named Team of the Year by SA Rugby and winning hearts by taking another Super 14 title, this time at the Orlando stadium in Soweto.
The year dished up other sporting surprises. Who would have thought that Kevin Pietersen, after bad-mouthing KZN cricket, would be seen smiling broadly in Dolphins colours? Congrats to the Dolphins administrators for hire bygones be just that and to Kevin Pietersen for creating a good feeling and assisting the youngsters in that team. Congratulations to him for his splendid double-century in the just concluded Ashes Test Match. Undoubtedly, though, centre stage belonged to the FIFA World Cup. The build-up to the event seemed to tournament being played in our coldest month.
Even our notorious criminals seemed to take a break from their nefarious ways, as we went about earning an unparalleled nine out of ten from Sepp Blatter on our FIFA . Our successful staging has apparently inspired FIFA to trust Russia and Qatar with this honour in the future. “We go to new lands,” said Blatter, as conventional countries such as England and the US were passed over. Any review of the 2010 sporting year will obviously be subject by the FIFA experience; the parade, the concert, the opening fixture, Bafana, the Vuvuzelas. But there were, after all, other sporting actions during 2010.
