@KES Oldboy: I think it’s for 1 tour a year for the lower teams, that’s the main attraction. The Jeppe vs Westville fixture sounded great.
@kantako: Ek weet nie hoe die puntetabel vir die skole lyk nie. Al die wedstryde vir A en B-spanne tel om relegasie te bepaal.
@Grasshopper: I’m not sure why Glenwood would need/want a fixture Vs the Gauteng schools. Natal have lots of competitive derbies with all of College, Westville, Northwood, DHS, Glenwood, Michaelhouse, Hilton & Kearsney all able to put out lots of teams & have competitive games. Unfortunately in Gauteng it’s only KES, PBHS & Jeppe. The private schools & Parktown are very weak & have few teams (St Johns have 16 teams but still need to improve their rugby).
@kantako: Ah yes, just in Mackeurtan Avenue!
Yes, its great to see. The Rugby in particular should never have fallen away as it did, but glad its competing again after all these years. The cricket and hockey are right up there in KZN and SA and the rugby pipeline is fairly strong now. Some good juniours coming through again. Its a very competitive market though on the rugby front and some schools are still ahead right now at 1st team level, like Hilton, Mhouse, DHS, MBC…but hope they can build a really competitive 1st team again like they did in 2019 and 2020 (before Covid struck).
@Djou: ek wil dit graag kyk.
Maar dit sal afhang van al die spanne op die dag ? Korrek ? Is Nelspruit reeds veilig ?
Ek hoop MV kan n paar goeie games he op die dag
@Wonder: Nog ‘n wedstryd om dop te hou:
Marais Viljoen vs DIE Menlopark gaan waarskynlik bepalend wees oor wie gerelegeer gaan word.
Alles om voor te speel!
@Rugby 4 Life: Jong ek stem nie saam jou oor die top 4 nie. Wat van Kloof? Tans op 20 punt vs Noordheuwel op 14.
Kloof speel nog teen Marais en Monnas tuis. Monnas sonder SA skole spelers teen Kloof.
Noordheuwel teen Garsies, EG en Marais.
Monnas op 16 punte, speel Helpmekaar, DIE Menlopark en Kloof weg. As Helpmekaar, tans op 23 punte, vir Monnas wen kan die Kloof vs Monnas game bepaal wie gaan deur.
Monnas vs Helpmekaar gaan die Battle of the Driving Maul wees.
@Skywalker: amazing to hear
You guys have made me excited about the knights, I will be watching them more closely now. Ive been to the school a few times, beautiful. Had my first Wakaberry as a Jo’burger just around the corner from the school.
Good luck for the season and future
@Skywalker: Agreed. When I lived in Ballito I was looking at Northwood as my first choice for my boy, mainly because of it’s location and because of it’s Gov Boys school ethos. Mr Jordan was OK back in the day. Northwood always had huge numbers, I think only Pinetown had more in the 90s, around 1,400 boys. Not sure now. Northwood have recruited some great coaches and teachers from Glenwood and other schools, they are in a good position across all sports. I always remember the surfing battles between Northwood, DHS, Glenwood, Westville and George Campbell. Northwood was always the beach-bum school of my era. Having OBs like Craig Davidson, Hugh Reece-Edwards etc has helped. Ballito is in dire need of a proper old school Model C school and fewer of these new age schools, which I don’t like….
@kantako: The wheel turns…Great to see after many years of the reverse. To be fair Northwoods school location has always been in a good area, and they have many local feeder primary schools. From Umdloti to Riverside they are the closest all boys high school in the area. They benfitted for a while, but the school got slack, poor leadership, and other schools simply upping the ante saw them fall out of favour. Unfortunately all boys schools get judged on rugby results (still the case mostly), and so even if their hockey was strong for example, the rugby losses impacted community support and the image of the school. It’s taken time to build and recover and now reach new heights, but again, that would not have happened if the school wasnt in a good place, with good new leadership, good coaches, teachers etc. Facilities then get upgraded and old boys support more, and and and…So yes they are benfitting from the North Coast migration in some way, but they always were in that pocket. If the school was where it was 15 years ago, they would not be attracting the boys they are, even if they lived round the corner.
@KES Oldboy: Ah OK, relatively close then which is good. Seems they have got a good u14 bunch which they need to retain and nurture. Always loved our interactions with PBHS and KES boys in the past. I think the English Model-C schools are all pretty similar, hence the good relations. Wish Glenwood had a fixture vs KES, PBHS, Jeppe or Parktown down the line. Also, now about 18 teams. I remember when we could put out 25 plus, those days are gone…
@Kaya 85: en sommer @ Kantako. I hope you guys are well!
Yes the play offs in all divisions will be helluva exciting! Can’t wait either!
Kantako ja goodness in die Cup enige van daai 6 kan nog in die top 4 inkom. Ek persoonlik glo die top 4 sal Bere, EG, Monnas en Noordheuwel wees. In daai orde. Ek glo met net een game oor gaan Helpmekaar kort wees aan punte met Monnas en Noordheuwel nog elke een 3 oor. Ek dink Noordheuwel sal die Bere op Garsie velde gaan jol in hulle semi en Monnas sal moet travel EG velde toe vir hulle semi. Ek weet mens wil nie hele tyd verwys na beserings nie maar sal stupid wees om dit nie in ag te neem nie. Monnas het ń paar beseerde spelers gedurende vakansie terug gekry so ek glo hulle sal Helpmekaar op hulle tuisveld die komende naweek wen en ek twyfel Helpmekaar gaan enige bonus punte uit die game kry. In die semi’s dink ek Garsies gaan Noordheuwel redelik maklik wen. 15 punte of meer. In die ander semi op EG se velde dink ek gaan baie naby wees. Maar ek dink Monnas sal deurkom op die einde en die game wen met 2 punte. Garsfontein vs. Monnas final op Garsies se velde…My kop sê baie dinge…sê Garsies behoort te wen, sê ook pasop vir die Tjaart factor, hy ken Garsies goed en weet hoe om hulle te wen…sê ook Witbulle wat wenpaal sien baie gevaarlik. My hart sê awesome final Witbulle klop Garsies met 1 punt.
Wil net ń korreksie maak oor wat ek gesê het oor die play offs…alle 1’s en 2’s op die log in enige ouderdom sal ń home semi kry. Al is daar net 1 game vir die dag. Vir die final sal hulle gaan volgens 1ste span wat wen hoogste op log. En daar sal die finals wees.
Mooi dag manne
@Grasshopper: I don’t have the results in a format that is shareable on this platform but in summary:
Played 22 (down to 7th, 16d, 15e & 14f)
KES won 17
PBHS won 4 (14a/d/e & 4th)
6th teams drew
Notable results: 2nd 29-5, 16a 32-13, 15a 36-0
Total points KES 562 PBHS 292
@KES Oldboy: It would be interesting to see the down the line results to see how close they were. I love a derby where results are close and it’s a 50/50 sort of share of wins
@Tang: Hi Tang. A very close game. Result was in doubt right until the end. At one stage it looked like KES would run away with it as they lead 29–11 early in the 2nd half. But PBHS can back & when they scored with 8 minutes to play & our SA Schools hooker was binned for the last 10 minutes we were in trouble only leading by 6. We got a late penalty which sealed it. I know that PBHS were missing a couple of stars through injury (10 & 8 I think). So I think they actually did very well. It was a good game.
@Rugby 4 Life: Thanks for the NV update…all 3 divisions are exciting, and the finals will be awesome. Can’t wait!!
@Rugby 4 Life: dankie vir die info ek brand om te weet wie dit gaan maak.
Top 4 dan nog oop tussen
Garsf
Eg
Waterkloof
Monnas
Help
NH
Sorry in Cup elke span speel 8 games. In shield en plate speel elke span 7 games
Goeie môre almal. Hoop dit gaan goed met julle.
Ek weet daar is ń hele paar mense wat meer wil weet oor die bestaande Noordvaal logs en waar die manne op die oomblik lê. So ek wou net die volgende met die wat belangstel share…
In die shield division na 4 games is Oos-Moot 1ste met 20 punte, 2de Secunda met 19, na 5 games 3rde Heidelberg met 16, 4de Hugenote met 12 en 5de Ben Vorster met 9 punte
In die Plate division na 5 games Rustenburg 1ste met 23 punte, Kempton Park 2de met 19, 3rde na 4 games Transvalia met 18, 4de na 5 games Montana met 12 en 5de Middelburg na 4 games met 10 punte.
In die Cup division na 5 games 1ste Garsfontein met 25 punte, 2de EG Jansen met 25 punte maar kleiner points difference, 3rde na 7 games Helpmekaar met 23 punte, 4de na 6 games Waterkloof met 20 punte, 5de na 5 games Monnas met 16 punte, 6de Noordheuwel ook na 5 games met 14 punte.
Elke span speel ń totaal van 8 games voor die play offs. So vêr ek weet sal 1 in log teen 4 speel en 2 teen 3. 1 op die log kry home advantage teen 4 en 2 op log kry home advantage teen 3. Al die ander ouderdoms groepe se 1 vs 4 op final log sal dan by 1 op log van 1ste spanne speel en al die 2 vs 3 by 1ste spanne se 2de op die log se velde
Hoop dit help. Mooi dag!
@Kes Old Boy – Did you watch the PBHS vs KES fixture? Was it close or were KES totally dominant?
@kantako: Ah lekker. I remember Glenwood playing Ermelo a few times in the 90’s in pre-seasons. Super tough games. To show our level then we beat the Grey Cherries 14-10 in 1992 in Kokstad…also in 92, we lost 3-10 to Paarl Boys captained by Corne Krige, at home in an Ascension Festival. I was there, one of the highlights of my school life, aged 13 watching these huge beasts play. We had a massive front row, around 120kg per prop. They then played Boishaai again in the July on a Cape Tour and got hammered 7-34. On that tour they lost to Wynberg 0-12, beat Grey PE 8-7 and lost to Muir College 8-13. Great times!
@Grasshopper: Secunda,Die Anker and Paarl Gim
@kantako: Thanks bro, I forget, which school do you support?
@Wonder: so wie is die 4 of 5 wat nou in die running is vir die semi finaal ?
Kan Menlo dit nog maak ? Asking for a friend
@Wonder: Dit kon ja! Helpmekaar het n baie goeie span en ek dink hulle was bietjie unlucky so paar keer die jaar…
@jakes: Groot wedstryd die naweek tussen Monnas en Helpmekaar. Battle of the mauls,moet wen vir Helpmekaar.
@Rugbyman: Dis goeie nuus om te hoor Garsies sal hul beste span beskikbaar hê. Geluk met die wen oor Helpmekaar,baie goed terug gekom.
@Grasshopper: great read.
Thanks
@kantako: Well I wouldn’t say Glenwood was a poor rugby school, just battled in the mid 90s with a head not really focused on rugby. Glenwood has played since 1910, officially from 1915 against Hilton. Our overall win percentage vs KZN opposition is around 56%, having played over 1,000 games in that time at 1st team level. Age of school usually correlates to historic dominance as it takes newer schools a while to catch up. This is the order in KZN since rugby started, College, Hilton, Michaelhouse, DHS, Glenwood, St Charles, Kearsney, Port Natal, Westville, Northwood, Voortrekker, St Henrys, Grosvenor, Pinetown…..so we are mid pack. We’ve had some great sides over the year, my uncle’s side in 65 was unbeaten locally and had 8x Natal reps that year. In 79, we had the SA schools captain, Derek La Marque……we have a decent number of Boks too for a soutie school. Also, some really famous Old Boys like Gordon Murray (auto design), Greg Nicol (hockey) & Kevin Curran (tennis). In fact, we have over 150 international reps….me are no start-up mickey mouse school…and always been known for big packs of forwards. We only really started to get big Afrikaans boys when Sean Erasmus was the coach and the school recruited from Pretoria. Those days are well gone now so we have to rely on local talent from a mainly Bluff, South Coast and Queensburgh feeder area, tough. For a school like ours we definitely do punch above our weight…..in the past, good solid middleclass families….with the edge coming from kids or tougher backgrounds (railway families) etc
@Grasshopper: thanks for the background. I started following Glenwood from around 2008. And then I thought they were the really strong KZN school with some big Afrikaans boys.
I always knew College was good, and Kearsney and House. Hilton got the money as well and big coaching staff, and the last decade I thought Westville is coming strong especially with Jeremy McClaren.
I never knew Glenwood was a poor rugby school. But it makes sense as the area around them is falling apart like you say, the school ground still good but if you look at the other KZN schools they are absolutely stunning. NORTH COAST now doing good for Northwood.
Its a shame the South Coast has gone to shit with crime etc, I remember school tours at Margate and even Veldskool in Glenmore. Good days
Two interesting results from the EC is Framesby beating Grey and, to me, the best win of the weekend is Nico Malan beating Kingswood. Kingswood has only lost to Helpmekaar this season and the NM win was unexpected. Congrats to the boys and to the great work done by the coaches Jaco Dames and Tiaan Dorfling.
@kantako: Glenwood vs Northwood in the 90s;
1990 – Drew 15-15
1991 – Lost 0-9
1992 – Won 13-11
1993 – Lost 5-12
1994 – Lost 12-13
1995 – Lost 18-23
1996 – Lost 12-18
1997 – Drew 12-12
1998 – Won 26-3
1999 – Won 22-7 & Won 18-15
As you can see, it was a tough mid 90s and only from 98 did we start to win regularly. Northwood now have a better feeder area, Ballito etc so will be difficult to keep up with as Glenwood is in a area in severe decline….
@kantako: Dude, in the 90’s we could hardly win a game at 1st team level, even vs Northwood. Games across the board have always been close. Prior to 1990, Northwood was two schools, Northlands and Beachwood. Both those schools didn’t have great records vs Glenwood as 1st team level. Glenwood has always been around average across the board. College is the benchmark in the province for all teams.
@NieZandbergNie: warm ups, in the tourno proper I don’t think they would have. Sharks gave WP a better run than the Bulls did..
@Grasshopper: im not a big follower of KZN schools rugby but never thought I will read the results where Glenwood play against Northwood and only win 6 games and lose 9 games.
@Grasshopper: The Bulls won against the Sharks 45-33 at Bondedag in Sasolburg, just before Craven week. Also remember that Garsfontein had the biggest number of players in the team.
@Human Piranha: Dankie, want ek was nie seker nie.
@OomPB: Enige Bolander sal jou sê ons moet darem beide klop om daai claim te maak. Miskien volgende jaar, wie weet en natuurlik is 3/3 teen die Wynland bure maar altyd die ideaal. Dit het 2001 laas gebeur
@Maroon machine supporter: Boishaai U16A het vir Oakdale 19-18 op Riversdal gewen in April. Oakdale U16A het wel vir Affies en Gim vroer in die seisoen geklop.
As Boishaai wen is Landbou seker die sterkste span in die Paarl
@OomPB: Ek was impressed met die Oakdale u/16 A span…hulle het ‘n goeie pak forwards en ‘n gevaarlike agterlyn. Was die wedstryd ‘n paar minute langer het Oakdale dalk gewen. As ek reg verstaan het hulle teen Gim en Boishaai gewen.
@Gimnasias: Die “ underdog “ storie is lankal deel van die verlede. Deesdae is die top skole so goed voorbereid met alle opponente games beskikbaar om te ontleed dat daar nie meer kans is dat die beste span nie sal wen nie. Die beste span sal wen. Ongelukkig vir verskeie redes het my alma mater hierdie jaar ‘n droewige jaar. Maar soos Strepies sê ons sal ons manne bly ondersteun ongeag.
Glenwood vs Northwood away from home, a good day out with well matched teams, that’s what I love. These 100 plus scores seen in Pretoria, not for me.

Great derby! Northwood on the up with a great feeder area…
It was a big day for Parktown yesterday. Mr Andrew van Zyl stepped down as the head 1st XV coach after 15 years of service. A loyal servant to the school and a true rugby man. All the best to him as he continues in his post as deputy headmaster at the school. Arise!
Well done College, a momentous occasion winning in Pretoria op die plaas. Westville did it a few years ago. I genuinely think KZN Sharks would have beaten the Bulls at Craven Week. The age group results were a little more concerning. Also, the huge gap across the board is a sign that Affies is at another level, over 1,000 points scored vs College! I am very happy with the improvement of Glenwood age group results vs Northwood, much closer and better. It’s not all doom and gloom for the next 5 years. Certainly not expecting an Top 30 sides but a good solid 30 to 50 in SA ranking is OK. Also, what counts to a Glenwood OB is the derby vs DHS, that must come back……even though DHS are likely to win easily for a few years….
As ek so na die uitslae van gister kyk is ek bevrees dat die Kwaggas n paar swaar jare het wat voorlê. En hul moet volgende jaar ons aanvat in die Paarl. Ek dink die laaste keer daar was daar n telling van 50 – 3 vir Gim. Ek praat onder korreksie.
@Strepie: Jy weet mos hoe dit gaan met Interskole. Die underdog is eintlik die gunsteling om te wen. Dis al oor en oor bewys. Wat gedurende die seisoen gebeur het maak glad nie saak nie. Dis maar net n unieke wedstryd op sy eie en die twee spanne is maar net anders ingestel vir die wedstryd. Net om die kompeterendheid van Interskole te bevestig, in 1986 was ons telling 0 – 0. Ja jyt reg gelees. En weet jy wat, toe ek 2004 vir die Old Boys gespeel het 18 jaar later was die telling weer 0 – 0. Hoef niks verder te sê nie, spreek vanself.
@Strepie: Die underdog tag is belangrik met interskole. Gim sit met n mental block.
PRG en HJS speel vanoggend in die CTIT semi finals.
@Snelvuur: lyk my Oakdale het n sterk u16 groep.
Baie baie geluk aan Boland Landbou.
Julle was kookwater gister!
Die Bloutrein sal moet diep delf as hulle kompeterend wil wees op Faure straat!
Ons manne bly ondersteun en sal altyd hoop hê.
@Palma: Correction – score was 26-20 to Nico Malan. Well played NM.
@Jan Kriel: Hoop Gim hou by hul gameplan. As hul gaan skop , gaan dit nag wees.
Volle stel uitslae tussen PRG en Oakdale (PRG eerste):
19A: 27-15
19B: 28-13
19C: 22-15
19D: 36-7
19E: 32-13
19F: 51-5
19G: 66-0
16A: 33-31
16B: 10-15
16C: 13-0
16D: 38-0
15A: 35-12
15B: 22-12
15C: 26-5
15D: 54-5
14A: 55-0
14B: 54-5
14C: 78-0
14D: 78-0
@OomPB: Stem! Oakdale se eerstespan het PRG behoorlik aangevat. Die o16A wedstryd was ook baie naby.
@Gimnasias: Gim het die wedstryd oorheers, maar Kwaggas se verdediging was baie goed, aanvanklik het Gim se hande hul in die steek gelaat, maar dit het later reg gekom. Was ‘n harde game vir Gim met een oog reeds op interskole
Glenwood 33 – Northwood 21, putting the record straight. Well done boys, go Green!
Wow big result from Maritzburg College. After battling Grey College for one half earlier in the season they really kept up the intensity throughout the whole match on this occasion. Simple effective line outs, to number 2 and 4 jumpers- no overcomplicated throws to the back, a strong driving maul and power scrum. Short passes to big ball carriers and a very low error count. Execution was very similar to a typical Affies gameplan actually. A Natal school needed a win against one of the big boys – DHS pushed Affies and Paul Roos close but College served up the goods today – Well Done! That will be a festive bus ride home.
KES 32 PBHS 23
Can somebody advice me why Helpmekaars kicker decide to take the conversion so far back? Was he maybe over confident? Also some players did not look too happy with him after that missed conversion. But so it goes with rugby.Helpies will find it difficult now to reach the semi finals.
@Rugbyman: dankie vir die info. Dit is ‘n beter besluit en dan is daar geen onmin dat skole nie met hul beste spelers kon speel nie. Net om dinge gelyk te maak moet al twee semi finale dalk dan op die Dinsdag gespeel word.
@jakes: An official letter from Noordvaal management confirmed that should a team have SA schools players for the fixture of 19 August that fixture will move to 22 August…
@OomPB: Ek het nie die game gekyk nie. Net gehoor Gim het baie kanse gehad maar balle verloor op aanval. Ook gehoor veld was maar modderig.
Well done Nico Malan, a big 19-18 win over Kingswood.
@Carpe diem: sorry man. Het PRG vs Oakdale gekyk.
Oakdale was full value op Markotter. Was ongelukkig om die rooi kaart te kry. Paul Roos se pak het goed gespeel, mooi gedryf.
@Gimnasias: Kwaggas was nooit in die game nie. Gim het als gedominate en moes hulle maklik weg gesit het. Veld was in n swak kondisie.
@Carpe diem: Om 10 elk gelykop te speel in George die jaar is amper so goed soos n wen. Kwaggas het meer druk op hulle gehad as Gim met die dat dit n eeufeesjaar is. Well done aan beide spanne. Sal graag die ander uitslae wou sien.

Punte teen: 153
Baie geluk aan die eerstespan van Maritzburg Kollege. Dit is ‘n puik vertoning en welverdiende wen. Affies se 4de 50 sedert 2016 en eerste teen ‘n ander skool anders as Grey. Maritzburg se 6 en 7 het die afbreekpunte oorheers en hulle 10 het die wedstryd dikteer.
Hierdie wedstryd som Affies se 2023 op: NIE GOED GENOEG NIE!
Kritiek teenoor al drie skeidsregters, hulle ken nie hul reëls nie en het ‘n onvermoë om dit konsekwent te kan toepas. Dit genoem, al het Andre Watson vandag geblaas sou Maritzburg die wedstryd gewen het, en verdien hulle dus al die geluk en eer vir hulle prag wen oor Affies.
@Carpe diem: 10 elk
Selborne 36-22 Hudson
Kan iemand asb die telling tussen Gim en Outeniqua gee.
Noordheuwel 42 Waterkloof 42
MC 50-31 Affies
Great win for the Souties.
@OomPB:Wie het gewen, en wat was telling?
Gim moes ver gewen het teen Kwaggas. Die ref het hulle geared.
Garsies 49-48 Helpies
Nie baie verdediging op die dag nie.
Selborne 14a 32-12 Hudson 14a
Selborne 15a 48-5 Hudson 15a
Selborne 16a 40-0 Hudson 16a
Great Junior results, hopefully the 1st can keep it up.
All play for vir Menlo en Nelspruit mbt promosie/relegasie?
SA schools rugby fixtures confirmed. 11th to 19th August 2023. This will affect the last round of Noordvaal cup on the 12th and the semi finals on the 19th.
@gimmie: Ek dink beide die Kwagga en Boland Landbou wedstryde gaan tellings in die hoë 20s hê. Gim en Boishaai sal moet speel om met paar punte te wen. Maar beide het gewys hulle kan die telbord aan die gang hou. Die beste verdediging op die dag sal bepaal.
@Deon: Carefull what you wish for!! Paul Roos het die naam “Springbok” vir die SA rugbyspan gegee. En jy weet hoe party mense daaroor voel!!
Gents, Deon, this is a schoolboy rugby blog..I am very interested in what bloggers think about Paarl Gym’s chances on Saturday against Outeniqua. I personally think that if Outeniqua play to their potential we have very little chance of winning but I am driving down to watch the game and support my beloved alma mater. I am also very interested in what my Boishaai friends think will happen on 5 August. We desperately need a win against the old foe because our old boys are impatient and irrational. I love schoolboy rugby! I love this blog when we talk schoolboy rugby. Let’s stick to that please. Deon, please let’s refrain from deviating from the intended subject matter. And quite frankly, let’s treat each other with dignity and respect. Beet – it’s time to use some red cards and enforce the House Rules,,,
Look, Deon makes a valid point, because when Milner and his so-called kindergarten ran the Transvaal after the Anglo-Boer SA War, they established English medium schools including King Edward VII in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Potchefstroom. I’m not sure if KES was called KES at the beginning, but naming it after the British monarch was certainly a ‘colonial’ move, and was triumphalist, to emphasize British superiority and the British colony. It remains as a name,a fact of history, I don’t think anyone at a school like has had an iota of allegiance to that king for the last 75 years or more. But the name isn’t currently offensive to enough people to demand a change. But that said, look at Joburg now…they’ve decolonised the $#!+ out of it…
@Kaya 85: don’t necessarily disagree… just said you are making some big calls…
Please beet, my one great grandparent and my family was murdered by the Nazis in concentration camps in Germany and we do not name schools after Hitler. My other great grandmother and 5 kids were murdered by King Edward 7 in concentration camps in SA. What is the difference? Can we ban the glorification of Rdward in KES from SBR blog? I find it traumatic to my wokeness.
@Slam: Why is it unnecessary? I mean there is no more HF Verwoerd Hoërskool, DF Malan HS is an issue, so is HS Jan van Riebeeck, and no more Verwoerdburg, yet names of much “worse” truly genocidal murderers and racists like this racist genocidal Edward and of segregationists like Shepstone, who by the way wrote every Apartheid law except the petty ones, just the way the English operated, can be mentioned here as if everything is ok, despite my family history? Creepy stuff. The English completely refused black children any state education. I mean, until 1953 less than 10% received an average of 2 years Mission education. Yet, we still read about Verwoerd….??? I really wish beet/SBRB would not mention schools named after these racists and murderers. No more Edward, KES etc/ I am too woke for racism.
Our House Rules

@Deon: Thanks for the history lesson but this is unnecessary
@Rugbyman:
Outeniqua is an absolute bull team, watch them vs Gim…
Hudson have an excellent chance to down Selborne this weekend, and I think Stellenberg are due a win…they’ve had so many narrow losses.
@Kaya 85: Mmmmmmm
One or two BIG predictions from you… Interesting…
Predictions

Pretoria BH 20 – 29 King Edward VII (Candies bow to Reds)
Helpmekaar 19 – 31 Garsfontein (there will be no surprise)
Monument 36 – 15 Marais Viljoen (2nd half surge + home ground advantage for Monnas)
Noordheuwel 21 – 22 Waterkloof (Kloof higher than the heuwel)
Menlopark 19 – 24 Nelspruit (jeopardy…either side could win)
Northwood 34 – 31 Glenwood ( Woods Derby)
HJS Paarl 26 – 6 Boland LB
Outeniqua 17 – 15 Paarl Gim
Paul Roos 35 – 21 Oakdale
Stellenberg 25 – 23 Rondebosch
Hudson Park 25 – 23 Selborne
KES 2nd XV also playing a visiting touring team on Thursday…King Edward VI from Engl…so it’s KES vs KES

03 big games in the Noordvaal cup section this weekend. Helpmekaar vs Garsfontein. Maybe Helpies can pull up a surprise. Also Waterkloof vs Noordheuwel massive for possible semi final spot. Monument bs Marais Viljoen.MV has the ability to cause another upset then Monnas will have real troubles for road to semi final spot.
It’s Haileybury vs Bishops, private school near me here in the UK. I heard St Albans was out in SA too. Pre-season tours…
