Kearsney vs Michaelhouse

11 June, 2014 beet 4

The Kearsney-Michaelhouse inter-schools was scheduled to take place at Michaelhouse this year in accordance with the normal venue rotation. Michaelhouse then agreed to allow Kearsney to be hosts, which provided Kearsney with a suitable date for their Old Boys Day. In the long run the switch will be of benefit to both schools as it evens up their home and away games against the other current KZN tier-1 heavyweights. …

Maritzburg College beats Michaelhouse 25-24

9 June, 2014 beet 10

The KZN schoolboy rugby season was crying out for a match of the season. This 25-24 Maritzburg College victory over Michaelhouse on Meadows in Balgowan seems to have answered that call. It was a pulsating game of rugger with the most exciting finish imaginable as College scored a try from the last play of the match and then converted to earn the single point victory. A fair result would have been a draw. Michaelhouse with a 4-tries to 3 count certainly didn’t deserve to be losers in this showpiece, but at the same time full-marks has to be awarded to College for way they clawed their way back after being shell-shocked at 10-0 down in less that 4-minutes and for the BMT the Red, Black, White showed at the end.…
