On Saturday, 22 March 2014 Glenwood and Michaelhouse combined to produce a great advert for schoolboy rugby on Dixon’s field in Durban. Glenwood had to come from behind to win tight, hard fought and clean match 17-14 against a very good Michaelhouse team that earned a lot of respect from locals for their well-balanced performance. Here is a breakdown of how the action unfolded:…

The lesson learned from the Noord-Suid Toernooi 2014 will be that irrespective of how much money organisers have at their disposals, attracting top teams to participate is in a first time festival played during the school holidays is a lot easier said than done.
In their desperation to find a fourth team to be part of the inaugural Noord-Suid Toernooi, those in charge have had to settle on relatively unknown Free State Griffons rugby school Harrismith…

Maritzburg College took on Northwood on Goldstones on Human Rights Day, Friday 21 March 2014.
If the sign of a good team is being able win when not at their best, then College’s rather impressive 31-6 score-line against Northwood puts them on a level above good because the Red, Black, White attack scored four tries while struggling for much of the game to get into the higher gears. …

Still a work in progress but here are what some of the 1st XVs will look like for the Graeme Rugby Day…
The annual Graeme Rugby Day takes place on Friday 21 March 2014 at Graeme College in Grahamstown. For Eastern Cape school rugby supporters, it does not come much this. With the exception of Daniel Pienaar, just about all the best Eastern Cape rugby high schools will be in action …
Here is the draft copy of a Charter that 24 government schools were reported to had agreed to back in November 2013 (names of 24 schools here: http://blog.schoolboyrugby.co.za/?p=5901)
TRADITIONAL STATE BOYS SCHOOLS SPORTS CHARTER
Born out of concern that some of the high profile sports at our schools are increasingly being driven by non-educational imperatives and affected by questionable (unethical) practices, we the members of the coalition of state boys schools affirm that sport is an important part of the educational programme at our schools and that in the first place it exists to help us develop strong character, healthy attitudes and life skills in ALL our boys.…

Glenwood ran in five tries in a resounding 32-15 win on Westville soil. The match played on a very hot March afternoon did seem to slow the tempo of Glenwood’s attack a bit but not as much as it did Westville’s defence who were slow to react to threats and made recurring errors.…
This 2014 KZN Tier-1 under 16 season is about to kick-off. The age-group’s teams will have to work to match the excitement of last year’s very competitive under-16 group that produced some unpredictable results and proved to be a great advert for the healthy state of KZN school rugby. …
