The first draft of the KwaZulu-Natal 2013 fixtures has been completed. Being early days it is subject to changes like the talked about Westville versus Pretoria Boys High School match-up, which has not been factored into the draft below. There may also be a reshuffle of Provincial fixtures for 2013 (Craven Week, Academy Week and Grant Khomo Week), which in turn may have an influence on KZN teams’ preparations for these inter-Provincial tournaments. This is yet to be confirmed by SA Schools. There is a possibility that Craven week may precede Academy Week and Grant Khomo Week in 2013.
Here is an abbreviated to death first draft 2013 KZN fixture list:

Kearsney play two fixtures then KERF, then Namibia for a four game tour vs Walvis Bay, Walvis Bay Gym and two others, before heading home to carry on the domestic season – FYI.
@HORSEFLY NO.1: how did St Charles do this year? also with all these coaches moving there must be good salaries paid now as 1st team coach at SBR level
DHS vs Parktown?
hhmmm, seems a new relationship is going to be built here. seems everyone has themselves some joburg opposition these days with Glenwood playing Monnas also.
MC and GW are the only two going through to 3rd term, come on schools,why dont you play 3rd term, its lame i say lame
@Greenwood: agreed, i hope Headmasters have not wet their panties, and trying to prove a point between them, or maybe thsi is why Kershaw didnt comment on the Marne issue, just decided not to play them next year , i feel this is going to be a HOT blog topic now and more important than Northwood going out and buying players ??
I reckon beet left it out on purpose just to get you GWD / WBHS guys going
@Greenwood: Do you think this might be a deliberate omission because of the Marne debacle? That would be an immense over-reaction if it was. Let’s hope it is just an honst mistake.
Greenhopper – the first thing I did was scroll down to check WVL – GWD fixture – to me this would be one of the GWD highlights
so do we have politics here or with this being a provisional list subject to change – already some speculation here – IF these 2 are not playing each next year this site is going to hum big time !!!
Correction – weekend 23/03
@Hopper: I’m sure it’s a mistake. I see the weekend 19/03 is free for both schools – they can slot it in there. Agree there should be a return match.
how can GWD be playing affies amd MC on the same weekend??
yip , no westville match for the Green Machine, this will be talked about , there should be return matches and there isnt even one game
POLITICS and egos here
Hells Teeth – that period for College after the College 150th Festival – better start working on squad depth now.
Wildeklawer, House, KES, Glenwood, Hilton, Kearsney, Westville, Affies, Pretoria Boys, Glenwood.
@ beet- good one . Maybe we are a bit more controversial than we think. I certainly hope not.
@star: Good observation auditor Star. Luckily we are in the least controversial SBR region of SA,so I have reported this oversight to the KZNHSA. Hopefully they will amend the schedule.
Is it just me but where is the GWD/WVL fixture?
