African Skye makes comeback at De la Salle

Johannesburg – May 30, 2015 – On a very warm winter day in the Highveld, African Skye made a comeback, taking all of the firsts in piping and winning the day overall at the third Regional Championship on the South African schedule, held at De la Salle College. African Skye also took the top spot in drumming, breaking the winning streak of Transvaal Scottish. Benoni MacTalla did not compete on the day. In Grade 3, Glen Allen Pipes and Drums, on home soil, were able to finally get ahead of Sandton Scottish.
