With the schoolboy rugby season more or less into its off-season with the exception of a bit of 7’s rugby going on around the country, it might be a good time to track what’s on the go in other sports that school rugby players participate in.
Starting with the @lantic Schools 7’s though, Garsfontein booked their place in the Champions event with a 31-29 victory over Affies. It’s been a season to remember for Garsies who are now starting to see the benefits of their rugby programme coming through in their results.
Clifton College hosted a big waterpolo tournament and won it. Reddam House was second followed by three Gauteng schools namely St John’s, Jeppe and St Stithian’s then Hilton and Kearsney. Westville were surprisingly only 11th. Clifton apparently has five SA Schools polo players in their team. SA School rugby player Daniel du Preez of Kearsney was the top goalscorer at the tournament.
DHS won the KZN athletics meeting a few weeks back. Athletics was the theme in the Gauteng and in the Eastern Cape over the weekend. Up on the Highveld KES reigned supreme winning both A and B-competitions, the first time this has ever been done by the same school since B-competition athletics was introduced in 2001. KES beat the mighty Affies and a much improved Pretoria Boys High School in the A-competition. The Hirsch Shield is a big annual event contested by under-19 athletes from 10 of the top schools in the Eastern Cape. There are also separate shields for the winners of the under-16 (SP Edwards) and under-14 (Sammy Gunn) age groups. Queens College won the Hirsch Shield for an 11th year in a row. They beat hosts St Andrews and Grey High. Grey High claimed both the SP Edwards and the Sammy Gunn Shields. SA Schools wing Sergeal Peterson (Grey High) was not put off by the wet weather and matched the under-19 record in a time of 10.8sec.
A school sport website recently ranked Affies as the number one school cricket team in SA at the moment. Paarl Boys High, St Stithians, Pretoria Boys High, Maritzburg College, Wynberg, KES, Grey High, Noord-Kaap and St Davids rounded off the top 10. Nevertheless Affies were beaten by 5 wickets by visitors Paul Roos Gym in a 50-overs match over the weekend. The Boland school’s celebrations were however short-lived. A day later they suffered a 180-run defeat at the hands of St Albans. On the local KZN cricket front bad weather had the final say in most matches but Clifton were able to cause a bit of a surprise by beating Hilton by 8 wickets after bowling them out for just 65 runs. Scores from the abandoned games read:
DHS 183 all out, Maritzburg College 29/0
Kearsney vs Glenwood abandoned without a ball being bowled
Northwood 182/5 (45 overs), Michaelhouse 12/0 (5 overs)
Westville 188/8 (44 overs) vs St Charles
some information from Glenwood
today they had group photos of all Glenwood Provincial & SA sports representitives for this year – 135 boys in all
come guys ! lets see how the other schools feature here
FYI ALL – KZN Schools cricket sides; http://saschoolsports.co.za/cricket/kwazulu-natal/cricket-kzn-u19-u17-teams.html
Well done to ALL the boys and especially to the 5x Glenwood Boys! Go Green!
@HORSEFLY NO.1: {sigh ….}.
You left out the SA reps for cricket, rugby and hockey, the springbok reps for hockey and canoeing, our Duzi U18 winners and 11th overall, our Olympic rep.
In the words of William Boetcker – You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
College, by any standards, are a top sports and academic institution. You have made a reckless statement and have nothing but bluster and hot air to back it up with. Someone with any decency would either pony up the evidence, or shut up.
You can put all your bets on your U14 rugby and polo team, and rightly so, but careful you are not getting your swallows and summers confused.
Can you confirm the rest of the DHS sports results for me, I need to get the school to correct the errors.
Rugby

My pleasure at the possible resurgency of DHS is well known here – careful you don’t alienate the few friends you have.
@Gungets Tuft:
And the same for College and the canoeing.
Also, well done for the SA U18 polo rep this year.
Lastly, for the record, the college results page got it wrong in the polo u14A result vs DHS . It was infact the other way around but hey, doesn’t matter.
@Gungets Tuft:
And the same for College and the canoeing.
Also, well done for the SA U18 polo rep this year.
@oldschool: Well done Old School. I don’t think being derogatory or putting another school down is good form. It irritates me when either a KC supporter puts us out on a pedestal, even when other school supporters do the sameattheir own schools. Geez, humility is required.
Eeeish, sometimes I cringe at what guys say in here…blind!
@HORSEFLY NO.1: Yeah .. why not. I think it is called a pinch of salt. Good luck with the basketball.
@Gungets Tuft:
I’m actually quite over this now. Thinks its time to move on don’t you?
@Grasshopper:
Yah itd be good if it was done and also would shut a lot. Of. Mouthes up(inccluding mine) it. Would also stop rumours like ‘westville ooffers 70 or so scholarships’
What I do know is that most gvt schools. Offer 12 academic scholarships, 3 cultural bursaries and about 25 sport scholarships. Could be more. For. Schools with more. Resources. Or most of the sport bursaries. Would. Be offeredd to rugby. Players. Like Glenwood is. RUMOURED. To be doing.
And yes, good luck to participating kzn. Schools this weekend. HORSEFLIEZ!!! BLUE AND GOLD!!!
@HORSEFLY NO.1: Lot more of what from where. If you insist on slagging off other schools then you need to be prepared for the backlash. I don’t subscribe to trying to level the playing fields by dragging others down. Personally, and on behalf of the school I went to and support, I like to believe that I argue the facts, state the positives (and sometimes negatives) from my school, and that is that. I am pretty sure that I have either been encouraging about other schools, or mute if I cannot find anything positive. I must confess to having slipped a few times during the age debate – but generally not. But trust me on one thing. Throw out unfounded statements like ” their all rounded approach is decreasing badly” and you will be called out. Defend with “you know what I am talking about” and you show that you have let out the clutch without engaging your brain. I can show you the program that is followed when marketing College, just ask. And we won’t be doing it outside DHS, we respect the history of the school too much.
Good luck to ALL the schools taking part in the SACS waterpolo tourno and Michaelmas cricket week starting tomorrow. A special good luck to the Glenwood boys taking part, play hard and just do your best. Go Green!
@Pedantic, OK all schools buy their best kids, it’s called giving out a bursary or a scholarship. Just some schools have a finite amount of these. I believe Glenwood give out 35 a year to both academic and sporting kids. Sometimes kids are multiple sportsman which makes it better as it frees up another bursary for another kid. For me it would be great if ALL schools listed their bursaries, who they were awarded too and how much they covered. It’s just about being transparent and all this ‘buying’ debate would dissipate…simple…
@HORSEFLY NO.1: Guys Guys Guys….please dont keep placing kearsney in the same space as hilton or MHS , we at kearsney pride ourselves on being a school that attracts current day entrepeneurs sons , we arent an old money trust fund family school , yes we do have old money families sending there boys , but the majority of our intake are from families whom are currently in business , be it large or small , but are predominantly self made or self employed …most of our new parents are actually old boys of Westville , DHS , Glenwood and the like with some Kearsney or even hilton /MHS old boys kids …but the common factor is that over 70% of the parents are hard working succesful people whom are in a postion to choose any school , but choose Kearsney over even there own schools….furthermore you are very mistaken in thinking that there is a bottomless pit of money to use for buying talent….Most Kearsney sides will have a few recruited sides , but the majority of kearsney boys in a team are paying fees , our stock is very good for a private school due to the fact that they come from tough hard working families and arent trust fund softies from JHB , hence the reason we can compete and sometimes beat the likes of the massive GOVT schools ……kearsney has found a great space in education whereby we have a toughness but also a fairness and well rounded aproach…..and please dont comment about boys doing naughty things at school such as a few drinking and vandal incidents…boys will be boys , infact most self made entreneurs will tell you that they were not model students and they ended up employing the A class maths boffs !!!
I think its not fair that others say ‘its called. Buying a whole polo team’when you speak of your schools achievements and then say ‘we have been smart in recruitment’ whenn theyy are accused!! That’s where this whole thing started!!!
@greenblooded
I suggest you get this thing called. A life mate! You. Will feel much better!!
@gungets
Hey, whole lot more where that came from!
@all
I suggest you don’t try make your schools. Look perfect and instead. All admit that every school has its. Internal problems! Its very easy to point. At schools like. DHS for. Nnot being. What it used to be as a rugby school or call pvt schools a waste because of. Their prices!!
All these. Schools have their target markets! If you wouldn’t. Send your son to some. Of them then you obvioously aren’t really the target market!!! Remember,when you point one finger to someone there are alwways 4 fingers pointinng. Back at you
@Grasshopper: No doubt they all recruit albeit with various aggression … what I find so humorous is how in your own words DHS “buy” and Glenwood “attract”.
I happen to agree with Gr 8 recruitment, thereafter it should be frowned upon.
@ Pedantic- You are right about the middle of the road guys. Guys that would have been a D became a C or B. Again it depends on the needs of the child.
As regards your return(20 % on my 2.9%) you must make the comparison with former Model C schools and what support the individuals have had( ie what they have had to achieve on their own). Return now not looking so good especially when comparing the difference in school fees.
@star: So if 80% of the top earners are from govt schools, that leaves 20% from private schools … not bad considering only 2.9% of secondary school students are at private schools .. I would take a 20% return on my 2.9% anyday
Must agree with you though … top students will prosper regardless – it’s the middle of the road guys that need the extra help.
The private v govt schools debate is as old as the hills and the fact is there is no right and wrong.Pedantic made some big statements about being”s street ahead” and you get what you pay for.I am reminded of that expensive restuarant you go to and leave feeling slightly cheated and wondering why you went in the first place.The fact is if you do things for the right reasons and have the right attitude going in the outcome will look after itself.When I was at Hilton the headmaster in his speech expressed his concern that because of the fees, parents had undue expectations about the role of Hilton and were abdicating their parental responsibilities with regards to basic value systems.This is a potential outcome of the oversimplification of the” you get what you pay for.”
My personal experience having gone through both systems(and a family that has done the same) is that the elite student/sportsman will prosper at any school.An example would be my mate (and Westville dux in my year) who went on to come top at Stanford and in his field at MIT.Similarily Le Clos beating Phelps and Stransky kicking the winning kick to win us the WC.In fact it begs the question what if they had not gone to the schools that they did? Of the top 10 richest earners in SA 80 % are from govt schools which also dominate the Bokke and Proteas.One of the top local businessmen is Ivan Clarke who is a GW OB.He was employed by my uncle who is a Hilton OB. Imagine if he had judged him on the school he went to as opposed to his ability and what he could bring to the party. I think he is pretty content with his decision.
@Horsefly: Piss poor of you to name and shame kids like that. Not the first time for you either!! Please go and write 1000 lines “I will not name and shame kids on a public forum”. Idiot.
@Grasshopper: Look there are some bloggers that frown upon recruitment practices and others that only seem to find issue with it when kids go from one KZN school to another, out of province recruits don’t register as being wrong in their books. Personally I accept that with all the pressures to do well and without regulation to guide it recruitment is acceptable. But lying that’s not on. The other thing I heard was a school running down another school when pitching to a prospective kid’s parent/s. Again this is not good. By all means sell your school and rugby program on its merits but set an acceptable ethical standard and stay away from degrading other schools.
You are right tho that no school is 100% innocent these days and its been seen often enough to know that what goes around often comes around, so those that enjoy looking down at others are bound to end up with their share of embarrassing problems down the line. Best thing to do is stay humble and have a moral compass.
Beet, it’s a free for all at the moment and no school is innocent or lilywhite these days….
It’s interesting to hear how some of the KZN schools are going about recruiting players and where they are looking for new kids. The was even an incident a short while ago in which a prominent KZN school caused a bit of a stir amongst W/Cape locals coz of the dubious technique used to lure a talented youngster. It’s a worry when integrity gets thrown out the window for the sake of recruitment. I know that Provincial scouts sometimes feel the need to tell a white lie or 2 along the way but did not expect school officials to do likewise. :???:
Now I know I give Roger a hard time about KES, but in reality I’m just pulling his leg. KES is a great Saffa school just like DHS, Glenwood, College and more recently Westville and Northwood. Roger will like this clip; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w7CrxbArDk&feature=youtu.be
When I watched this, it reminded me of the exact ethos, traditions, morals etc that all of the Top 10 schools in KZN have too. Mike Fennell talking could be any of the top schools headmasters. Even KES’s warcry in Jimolayo Ji, so it shows all these schools are actually so similar that they are like brothers, feuding brothers amongst the Old Boys. I am just stoked that the passion for schools still exists and that they have no become just education institutions that kids go to and leave as soon as the bell rings…..
Jeez, there are alot of hand bags and willy waving going on here. Let’s just agree that ALL schools recruit and that ALL schools have their pro’s and con’s. Parents then weigh up what is best for their lighty and then decide. I will always be a proud Glenwood Old Boy and passionate about the school, but if the school went to the dogs or was doing things I felt were morally wrong then of course I would look elsewhere. As for paying R180k per annum to go to Michaelhouse, that is a complete waste of money in my honest opinion. Between College, Westville, Glenwood, DHS and Northwood parents have plenty of choice…..
By the way Horsefly, please dont name kids on this blog. Really not right.
Oh my word. The wannabees. Just to put it all in perspective. Kearsney buy a 1st team and lose almost every other game so lets not have a go at schools about buying. DHS are spending a fortune on staff and boys so lets not point fingers there either. If you guys feel your schools are so good and better, then fantastic, but stop commenting on other schools to try and justify it. If we have to sit face to face and compare stats etc we can do that. Not going to make you feel better though. Pedantic I can send you our latest newsletter covering some cultural events but really dont think that should interest you.
@Pendantic, Kearsney are one to talk, they ‘attract/buy/lure/entice/purchase/recruit/poach’ whatever you want to call it the most out of all the schools, except Michaelhouse and Hilton are upping their game. Let’s just say all schools do it. DHS are focussing correctly on getting DPHS boys to go there, Glenwood should focus on Glenwood Prep, College Merchiston, Westville Westville Senior Primary and Northwood Virginia etc. It would be a great rule and leveling field if there was a limit on the perimeter schools could recruit. With regards to your last statement, that is a pile of horse droppings. I recruit graduates all the time and let’s just say private school educated kids are no better than gov school ones, especially at the top end. In fact, Gov school kids are usually more down to earth and live in the real world…
@HORSEFLY NO.1: You mean Glenwood’s boy – and I think it is extremely poor form to name the kid here – what the hell is that??
And don’t go too far with the “College kids who have disgraced their school massively in the past year” – it was 1 kid .. ONE KID .. who disgraced himself (not Staples – he played such a minor part that it is not worth talking about – he stood by the code – talk about that!!!). 4 or 5 others “owned up” and were disciplined, because that is the College way, the code of honour that all the boys follow. The kid that disgraced himself has already had an incident in Gr8(!!) and should have taken a bullet then. He was expelled. The other one which you know about walked the plank the same day.
I agree that the reputation of the school should not be based on the behaviour of a handful of miscreants or there would not be a school with a reputation left in SA. Suggest that we move on – but if there is no real evidence of a decline, then it is all hot air.
@Horsie, mate you need to start looking past your blinkers. Glenwood are the top tennis, baseball, softball, chess, surfing and target shooting school in the province. In the major sporting codes (hockey, cricket and rugby) they are in the top 5. In athletics, squash, badminton, waterpolo and swimming they are also in the top 5. With regards to academics, they are in the Top 5 Gov schools. Just because DHS gor one kid coming top does not mean the whole schools results were good. College and Westville were the top performing Gov boys schools in academics in 2011, simple! I’ll give DHS their dues and say they are the best in the province at basketball, athletics and tiddly winks ;-)
@All Black:
Very unfair to attack them like that!
Don’t even get me started on College kids who have disgraced their school massively in the past year! Your boy Staples is an example of this! The whole GW thing recruiting him was a sham! Want the real story? Ask! But don’t go knocking. For trouble elsewhere before you’ve sorted out the trouble at. Home!!!
@HORSEFLY NO.1: What esle would you like to see sportswise from this school which is declining so badly. We have won the JSE investing game, won the F1 design competition, constantly place 3 in the top ten at Cross Country comps, we were 3rd behind Glenwood and DHS at the Sydney Atkinson Invitation athletics. We don’t surf but we will win the KZN Surfski comps next year. Basketball was very good this year (beat most schools – could not find a DHS result but beat GW, KC, MHS, Hilton), and water polo was no slouch (check the DHS results in the first term). Top results in shooting, golf and squash.
Perhaps aggresive recruiting is for the desperate, or perhaps what they are doing with roadshows throughout the province is doing the trick without branded vehicles trawling the Eastern Cape?. The College BE is oversubscribed by a factor of 3. Local recuitment is linked, sadly, to a declining city, but there is not much College can do about that.
So, rather than vague comments and then copying my response, try doing some research of your own and commenting from knowledge rather than hope
@All Black:
Haha.so I guess its fine when the. Greens. Do so and gloat on their. Rugga and the pvt schools. Do so on their facilities! ‘Enough said’ then you. Go and post 2 times again.
Listen, its not an attack but rather the truth. People attackk DHS all the time because of its rugga! Even when that very same rugby. Improves we are. Told that its just a once off! Schools aren’t just about rugby!
So don’t talk about attacking cause we can go all day long. Mate!
@All Black: I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – IMO College live up to their marketing of private school facilities at govt school prices – can’t argue with that, academics are great, sport all round is great – not sure about cultural development though, if they do anything decent, it’s certainly not publicised anywhere.
I think it’s unfair to judge a school by the misdemeanors of a few ill-disciplined matrics getting out of hand after understandable school leaving celebrations. I would be more concerned if the drunk / high kids were in Grade 9 and defecating on their teachers doorstep on a sports tour … ill discipline not always the fault of the school’s system, boys will be boys.
@Pedantic: Streets ahead/ Private schools. another joke. Quite happy with the boys coming out of College. Hope your matrics dont get drunk and high again and attack their teachers this year. Money well spent.
@HORSEFLY NO.1: New director of sport was an ex provincial water polo player. Big reason for his employment. College is the only KZN school to be invited to the Retief Goosen golf invitational. Our cricket is in the top 5 and has been for the last 10 years. Canoeing, tennis, squash whatever you want to talk about, go for it. We are rebuilding water polo and swimming and our soccer is in the top 3 every year. Academics we came second in KZN last year to Westville Girls, just. Anything else you want to mention? You need to speak from a position of strength or dont speak at all. You cant attack the other schools just because DHS is going through a rebuilding phase. We hope.
@HORSEFLY NO.1: Horsefly you are truly stooping to an all time low. Stop rubbishing other schools to try and make DHS look better. Enough said.
@Gungets Tuft:
The recruiting at College hasn’t been as aggressive as it used to and you know this! As I said you have chosen your sports which are Paddling, Hockey, Rugby and Cricket.
Your water polo isn’t like it used to be so don’t act like you don’t. Know what I’m talking about!
@pedantic
That’s true. As far as facilities go pvt schools are the way to go. As for Cultural activities well, don’t. Really agree with you mate!b I do think we are among the best in offering them.
@Grasshopper: You make me laugh … in one post DHS are “buying” and entire team and in the next post Glenwood are “attracting” the best? Haha, very objective mate – NOT!
It’s no secret how Glenwood “attract” their top sportsmen
In terms of true all round development for ALL students (not just the elite) – the private schools are streets ahead when we talk about academics, sport AND culture – possibly due to their superior resources. You get what you pay for, just like most things in life.
@HORSEFLY NO.1: “College continues to be a great school but their all rounded approach is decreasing badly. They’ve chosen a couple of sports they can focus on and are now sticking to them.”
Care to substantiate that?
Start with rugby, cricket, soccer, paddling, polo .. then move on to academics. Just wondering whether I should rip my boy out and send him to a well rounded school like DHS before the decline moves past “badly” to “hectic” .. or {shock horror}, unstoppable!!
@grassy
And you obviously don’t know their real strategy, which is just RUGGA. You can’t tell me that a school that’s having 15+ boys on rugga scholarships is taking a all rounded approach. You are doing what most schools are doing which is picking a sport and sticking to it. And I’m simply stating that we aren’t taking the same easy route and are taking what is now called the Westtville route. Also, I have to say that it seems that you aren’t kepping up with the times! College continues to be a great school but their all rounded approach is decreasing badly. They’ve chosen a couple of sports they can focus on and are now sticking to them. And as for Glenwood, you guys are as all rounded as a square! An all round school balances its Academics,Cultural and Sporting activities very well and ensures Academics comes first without hurting its sport! I don’t really think you qualify mate! Maybe in the next 5 years hey?
@kcob, of the gov schools I meant. It’s not a fair playing field when the school is getting R100k plus per kid per year…..that is the equivalent of 3 gov school kids school fees. I heard Michaelhouse and Hilton are R180k per annum, that is 6x Glenwood school fees…madness…
@Grasshopper: Ah Grassy, what about Kearsney….sob sob!
@Horsie, you obviously don’t know the Glenwood strategy at all, it’s about producing well rounded boys ready for the real world. It just so happens to be it’s been more fruitful in rugby. Glenwood is more than competitive in ALL sports…and yes the Hungarian kid in 1996 taught the whole squad how Hungarian schools prepared and installed their training regime, it improved results at least two-fold. I hate to say it but Westville are probably the most well rounded school at present, followed by College, then Glenwood and probably Northwood and DHS on a par..
@grassy
Is buying 15 players wise? I don’t think so. As for polo, one player can’t change much on his own, it is after all a team sport! As for intake, best time to see is grade 8 as other schools buy players after that which doesn’t show any proper reflection to the intake. As for focus, we are taking a more all rounded approach, very easy to focus all your money on one thing but very hard to be all rounded which we are slowly succeeding in.
@Horsie, never haters. DHS vs Glenwood is a tough but friendly rivalry, that on ocassion gets a little heated. It would be boring without the heat. Not sure you can say your intake was better, that can only be judged by matric and there are 4 years to go. Yes, Glenwood have been wise in rugby and attracted the best in the past few years. However, every other schools burns them for it and cries foul play etc. Surely this should be the case too for other schools purchasing kids. Clifton are obviously concentrating on waterpolo. Some advice for any school wanting to improve waterpolo, get in a Hungarian coach or exchange student, We did that in 1995 and that one kid on his own changed Glenwood waterpolo for the better…
@Grasshopper:
Haha why the hostility? Its not panicking but rather being smart. Also, Glenwood has been doing the exact same thing for its rugby anyways and at least we are doing it across the board. Also, we don’t buy a whole polo team as you will find that nearly the whole 14A side excels in other sporting codes and even In the classroom! It seems we got what looks like a better intake than Glenwood and maybe why your response is so! But hey, haters are always gonna be haters!
Well done to the Queen’s Hirsch Shield team,led by Khaya Malotana, who played wing,centre and fullback for the Queen’s 1st XV, the school is extremely proud of it’s history in the competition and old boys like myself are always chuffed when the school achieves such achievements
@Horsie, it’s called buying a whole polo side. It seems Clifton did it for while and now DHS have woken up and started to do it too in all sports. Panic stations considering your 150th celebration is coming up…
since this post is for anything but rugby, id like to congratulate DHS on its some of its water polo results vs Westville. i must say i have a good feeling about our u14s and u15A sides for the upcoming top 10 tournie.
results:
1st WBHS 12 DHS 10
2nd WBHS 11 DHS 1
U15A WBHS 3 DHS 13
U15B WBHS 10 DHS 1
U14A WBHS 3 DHS 15
U14B WBHS 0 DHS 15
something specialis brewing in DHS polo again!!
@Greenwood, thanks for the info. Good to hear the side is playing well going into Michaelmas, but we all know T20 is not real cricket so hopefully we can play well in the 50 over game too. I have seen a few huge sixes at Glenwood. Rudi de Vry, Gareth Weir, Greg Nicol, Gareth Madsen, Clinton Weir and a few others have hit the building in the 90’s, maybe not the 3rd floor though! Who hit that 6?
Some cricket news for the Glenwood blokes that are interested
the 1st team played the “Old Boys” at the School in a T20 and they klapped the old boys team which included a couple of ex Dolphin players
My lightie told me of probably the biggest six ever hit at Dixons by a Glenwood boy – the ball hit a window on the 3rd floor went thru the empty classroom – exited another window and ended up in the courtyard outside the tuckshop – must been a sight to see
To add the Michaelmas Cricket week starts this weekend, fixtures here; http://www.glenwoodhighschool.co.za/sites/default/files/Cricket%20Fixtures%20for%20Michaelmas%20Cricket%20Week%202012.pdf
Also, the oldest, biggest and best waterpolo touro in SA starts this weekend too, see fixtures here; http://www.glenwoodhighschool.co.za/sites/default/files/sacs_polo_programme%202012.pdf
Good luck to Glenwood in both tourno’s, we hope our young sides play to the best of their abilities. Go Green!
