Jeppe High School for Boys has been forced to adjust their fixture list due to a classic calendar clash. Their 1st XV match against the in-form, unbeaten Westville, originally scheduled for Saturday, will now take place a day earlier — kicking off at 13h30 on Friday, 25 May 2025, on Bowden’s Field in Durban.
The unexpected reschedule comes after it emerged that the team would otherwise have to make the 600km journey back to Johannesburg on the same day as their matric dance — a logistical nightmare for any high schooler juggling sport and social life.
Fortunately, with both schools in agreement, the change has been made in good spirit. It sets up a highly anticipated Friday afternoon clash between two proud rugby institutions, with underdogs Jeppe keen to make a statement against a Westville outfit enjoying a dream run in 2025 under new head coach Zander Erasmus.
