Kingswood first out of the blocks in the Eastern Cape

It would have been acceptable for Kingswood, a small private co-ed from Grahamstown to be amongst the last of the Eastern Cape schools to get their 1^st XV rugby for 2014 up and running. Although they don’t the student numbers of most rival schools, Kingswood remains competitive in sports across the board during the year thanks to the commitment of boys, many of whom contribute in more than one school sport. This means that at this time of year, a number of rugby players are still involved in their summer sports programme. Kingwood rugby hasn’t allowed this to be an obstacle though. Some remarkable work is going on at the City Lords, which is set to include numerous planned sessions with John Mitchell throughout the season. The result is that they are already at a stage where they can name their 1st XV squad.

Here is the Kingswood squad for the Graeme Rugby Day and Grey PE Festival:
