Match Report: Glenwood beats Maritzburg College 27-14
Glenwood and Maritzurg College played in what might yet prove to be the most important inter-schools fixture as far as determining who the best high school 1st XV in KZN is this season. It was an unusual game in a sense. There were a lot of mistakes made by both teams and even the experienced referee got a few things wrong but all this did not reduce the action-packed excitement and intensity of the match, as both teams gave it there all for 70-minutes. The home team Glenwood gained a handy 17-0 early lead which threw College off their stride for a while but the visitors dug deep, showing tremendous heart and as is so often the case when two good teams meet, the game is never over until the final whistle. College fought back to within 6-points with just a few minutes left on the clock, before Glenwood sealed a deserved 27-14 victory by scoring a late try from a turnover.…

Glenwood vs Maritzburg College teams for Saturday
Glenwood vs Maritzburg College. It’s a potential KZN number 1 decider for 2014. Glenwood hosts College on Dixon’s where visiting KZN 1st XV’s have found wins extremely hard to come by in recent years. On top of this College has not beaten Glenwood home or away since 2010.
Both schools have strong teams and are enjoying very good seasons to date.

Match report: Garsfontein beats Waterkloof 44-19
Some observers called the clash between neighbouring Waterkloof and Garsfontein the battle for Pretoria. It is a bit premature though, as both schools still needs to face up to stiff opposition in matches to come, but such was the interest in the match – as the thousands of spectators in attendance will testify. But a battle nevertheless, as both schools defeated a number of rivals all over the country.…

Tygerberg loss means Grey Bloem is the last man standing
Four tries either side of halftime in a game that Paarl Gim dominated up front and finished through their backs, saw previously unbeaten Tygerberg lose their unbeaten tag in unceremonious fashion.

Match report: Dale beats Queens 13-12
Dale and Queen’s met at the graveyard in King on Saturday in the first of their two annual derbies.

Match report: Maritzburg College beats Kearsney 29-17
A large crowd gathered on Goldstones, the home of Maritzburg College on a pleasant afternoon to see Sleepy Hollow’s finest take on Kearsney for the 68th time since 1943.
