Worcester Gimnasium face an incredibly tough start to 2026. Over three weekends in March, they take on some of the country’s most high-profile schools before the holidays kick in.

First up is Outeniqua in George at the Kwagga Fest – a challenging proposition. While the Kwaggas may not seem like much on paper, their squad boasts 16 promising Grade 11 players out of 25. Looking ahead to 2027, Outeniqua are expected to pick up the pace as the lingering effects of Covid fade.

Worcester Gim’s March run continues with a revitalised Bishops, followed by the Dreamteam-tagged Stellenberg, ensuring a baptism of fire for the start of the season.
