Within days of losing one 1st XV team mate, the Dale college community and Teyise family of the Dale college have lost another learner. 

In a first team rugby match held in East London on saturday afternoon april 2022. Liyabona Teyise sustained a head injury in a collision.

Liyabona lost consciousness briefly, before walking off the field himself, but he then tragically collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital. 

After having trouble breathing and being given oxygen, Teyise was then rushed to Frere Provincial Hospital where he underwent an emergency CT Scan which revealed bleeding on the brain. 

He died during the night.  

Dale College headmaster Garth Shaw was at the venue and, along with Teyise's family and other members of the school's staff, waited at the hospital until long into the night for good news.  

On Sunday morning, Shaw woke up to the confirmation from Teyise's family that he had died.  

Teyise played lock for his team and was wearing a scrum cap when he took contact in a moment that Shaw described as "seemingly innocent" at first, with the player looking to pass the ball in a tackle while going to ground. 

There was no obvious tackle to his head region.  

The incident took place just before half-time.  

Teyise wanted to return to the playing field shortly after having been taken off for blood, but he was rushed to hospital instead with the referee suspecting a concussion while he also suffered a fit on the sidelines.
