KHS’s “Best of the West” fixtures & results
Spare a thought for the organisers of Krugersdorp High School’s Best of the West Easter Festival. Several school have withdrawn at the last minute. But the show must go on!
From the organisers:
This year’s Easter Festival has been one of the hardest logistically in its 12 years of existent. In a matter of a week leading up to our kick-off on Thursday we have had HS Merensky, Welkom Gimnasium and today (31/03/2015) HS Florida withdraw from the Festival due to governing bodies and injuries etc… This has put us in a tough position when it comes to fixtures and being able to communicate with you and our supporters…

KZNRU inefficiency results in 1st XV player being sidelined
Frustration is the best way to describe this situation.
A Westville under-17 frontrow rugby player was prevented from starting the under-19 1st XV match against Maritzburg College because his SARU age banding “paperwork” (often incorrectly referred to as Boksmart) was not in order. Westville Boys High School was not at fault here. The problem was/is Archie Shelakho, a referee based at the Rugby Unions headquarters at Kings Park who is responsible for signing off the “paperwork”.…
College beats Westville 13-0 – match report
Maritzburg College put in a surprisingly refreshing running rugby performance and deserved more out of the match than the 13-0 win they achieved against hosts Westville.
The match got off to a very unsettling start for Westville. The referee, fully within his rights, would not allow standout under-17 hooker Hendrik Prinsloo who forms part of a very powerful Griffons frontrow combination to take his place on the field in the under-19 game due to the player not being Boksmart compliant. …
