Kearsney and Hilton in a showpiece

5 June, 2016 beet 7

Kearsney supporters had to bite their nails for a while but eventually got to celebrate Old Boys’ Day in style as their One-Stripes came from behind to beat a gutsy Hilton 20-8 on the Stott, avenging their loss to the same opponents in the Midlands earlier in the season. The high intensity match was a great advert for schoolboy rugby as both sets of players put their bodies on the line in an effort to manufacture a winning outcome, producing a good quality match in the process.…

No illusions for Westville when they host College

27 May, 2016 beet 40

One of the highlights of the KZN school rugby season is the Westville – Maritzburg College interschools day. It’s fair to say that neither school is enjoying a prosperous 1st XV year but that won’t distract from what is bound to be wonderful day filled with plenty of well-matched age group contests on Westville’s fields.…

BHP official Top 30 – week ending 07 May 2016

11 May, 2016 beet 5

Word from BHP: I adjusted some of the schools’ category points according to their performance this season to bring it more into alignment with current strength. This will result in some schools having a slightly different avg than last week even if they did not play any games. Each week the min criteria for games played goes up as well, and as Glenwood has not played in SA for 2 weeks, they are not in the mix for this week’s ranking having only played 6 calculable games so far.
