The saying goes “you can’t keep a good man down” and the same can be said of a good rugby school. Over the past couple of seasons Monument from Krugersdorp has not achieved bad results but overall they have not been what one has come to expect from a school that sets its rugby bar very high. 2014 could be the season that sees them return to a ranking position amongst the very top rugby schools in South Africa.
The detailed Monnas Witbulle fixture list also provides important dates of both Golden Lions regional schools and national events coming up. It’s worth perusing.
Monnas has also added a match against Jeppe this season.

Alhoewel nie een van die spanne mekaar gaan oordonder nie reken ek dat Monnas beslis die beste toegerus is vir no 1 in die Vaal en beslis onder die top 3 in die goeie ou RSA.
Maar hulle is beslis nie die “Wit Bulle” nie.
The game against KES and 1/4 finals of the Beeld are 03 days apart.. If they are serious about the Beeld trophy, this could be a decision they might regret..depending on who their opponents will be it will be in the 1/4 finals, it will be a tough assignment.. Also Affies and Grey college 03 days apart.. Eish tough times lying ahead
