Durban High School held on by the skin of their teeth to take down rivals Maritzburg College by 14-7 in the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools first team rugby clash at DHS on Saturday.

These two traditional rivals fought tooth and nail with Durban High School coming up trumps in a titanic clash with solid defence playing a key part in their victory.

Tries from DHS flanker Dale Hendrikse and scrumhalf Florensen Ockhuis sealed the win for the home side in a match that ended in dramatic fashion.

The final five minutes saw College piling on the pressure in a desperate search for the tying score, whilst DHS relied on solid defence to pull them through.

College thought they scored their second try through eighth man, Sasha Kadira, in the last minute of the match, but referee, Cameron Smith, stated that the ball was held up.

Kadira and his College team-mates were in disbelief as a possible game changing try was denied.

DHS had the most of the territory in the first 10 minutes and were duly rewarded when openside flanker Dale Hendrikse scored under the posts. This was largely due to terrific hands from tighthead, Simphiwe Ngobese, who got the pass away to Hendricks with sublime timing.

Deano Boesak slotted the conversion for a 7-0 lead after 12 minutes.

DHS strengthened their grip on the match only five minutes later after capitalising on an error from College flyhalf, Luc du Toit. Du Toit failed to find touch with a penalty which resulted in DHS gaining possession of the ball.

Ngobese made another storming run, before an offload to scrumhalf Florensen Ockhuis started a magical piece of individual brilliance. Ockhuis sidestepped numerous College defenders to score a superb 22-metre solo try. Boesak slotted the conversion for a deserved 14-0 lead.

The boys in navy blue had numerous opportunities to extend the lead, but College’s defence held firm to keep them in the game. The half-time whistle sounded with DHS being the happier of the two schools with a 14-0 lead.

Maritzburg College showed improved initiative in the second-half and camped out in DHS’s 22 for the seven minutes. Colm Reardon knocked on after solid DHS defence and Jake Jansen was kept millimetres from a try as he was held-up.

Persistence eventually paid off with Phiwayinkosi Kubheka powering through three defenders to score Maritzburg College’s opening try in the 47th minute. Du Toit slotted the conversion to narrow the gap to a converted try.
College suddenly had momentum on their side with fullback, Luyanda Kunene, making a couple of dangerous breaks in attack. College though just could not find the final pass to close the gap.

Both schools’ handling errors also let them down in a scrappy second half as the excessive humidity sapped the energy from the players.

DHS managed to defend for their lives in front of home support to gain the win. Overall, DHS used their opportunities in attack and deserved to keep the Skonk Nicholson trophy in their cabinet based on the 70 minutes of play.

Scorers:

Durban High School 14 () – Tries: Dale Hendrikse, Florensen Ockhuis. Conversions: Deano Boesak (2). Maritzburg College 7 () – Try: Phiwayinkosi Kubheka. Conversion: Luc du Toit.

MAKHANDA. – Die 2023-skolerugbyseisoen is nog in sy babaskoene, maar dit is reeds duidelik dat daar nie met absolute sekerheid bespiegel kan word wie vanjaar die voorste skolespan is nie.

Die Hoërskool Durbanville het gewys dat hy die Bul van Porterville se Bulfees is deur die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl naelskraaps met 26-25 in die doodsnikke van die hoofwedstryd van die dag te verslaan.

Durbies se Shaun Klein het met minder as ‘n minuut oor met ‘n strafdoel geslaag om aan sy span dié geskiedkundige oorwinning te besorg. Die losskakel het boonop 21 van sy span se punte in die sege aangeteken.

Klein het een van sy span se twee drieë gedruk, albei vervyf en ook vier strafdoele tussen deur die pale gejaag.

Dit was veral in die lynstane asook die skrums waar Durbies daarin geslaag het om Boishaai te ontwrig. Die twee fassette is tradisioneel die span van die Paarl se sterkpunte.

Durbies se kaptein en flank, Evert Bouwer, was uitstaande voorlangs en het veral in die lynstane die aanslag gelei.

Een van die ander aanspraakmakers om vanjaar die land se voorste skolespanne te wees, Paarl Gimnasium, moes sweet om vir Stellenberg met 24-23 te klop.

Gimmies se skrumskakel, Dawid Kotze, het ‘n driekuns aan drieë behaal, maar dit was amper nie genoeg op die Jade Brigade in toom te hou nie.

Stellenberg se binnesenter, Ruben Thompson, het met sy skopskoen sy span in die kragmeting gehou.

Gimmies kom eerkomende Vrydag teen Grey-kollege tydens die jaarlikse Noord/Suid-toernooi in Pretoria te staan.

Dalk het die span van die Paarl probeer om nie al hul kaarte reeds teen Stellenberg op die tafel te sit nie.

Grey was in Makhanda tydens Graeme College se fees ter viering van hul 150ste bestaansjaar in aksie. Die span van die Rosestad het vir Marlow Landbou (52-12) en St Andrew’s College (48-0) met gemak afgestof.

Grey het ook nie te veel van sy planne tydens die seges weggegee nie. Die span se vaskopstut, Jean Erasmus, het wel gewys hoe gevaarlik hy kan wees indien hy die bal onder die arm vasknyp en in albei wedstryde dubelle driedruk-plesier ervaar.

Grey se binnesenter, Pieter van der Merwe, het ook gewys in Makhanda waartoe hy in staat is wanneer die agttal onder een kombers en op die voorvoet is.

‘n Unieke geleentheid het in die eerste wedstryd teen die Wolramme van Marlow plaasgevind met Jean-Henri Smith wat teen sy pa se ou alma mater gewys het dat hy net so kliphard is. Sy vader Philip Smith het die Springbokke in 1998 verteenwoordig.

Rondebosch Boys’ High het vir die eerste keer in jare na Riversdal gereis en toe boonop die Bulle van Oakdale Landbou met 24-18 verslaan.

Durban High School was met 14-7 baas in ‘n strawwe eerste Premier Interschools teen Maritzburg College. Jim Fouché sal nie te ontevrede na sy gelykop-uitslag van 31-elk teen Secunda wees nie.

In die NWU Prestige-reeks sal die span wat die kroon wil dra eers verby die Hoërskool Noordheuwel moet kom. Die Nories het sy laaste groepwedstryd van die reeks vir Potchefstroom Volkskool met 54-0 afgestof.

Feitlik al hierdie wedstryde kan weer gekyk word op SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com). SuperSport Schools spog nou ook met sy eie kanaal op DStv – SuperSport 216.

Paarl Gimnasium beoog om weer die nommer een posisie op die skolerugby-ranglys hierdie jaar te beklee, maar die Gimmies het eers ‘n strawwe toets wat op hul wag waneer hulle vandag teen Stellenberg te staan kom.

Die wedstryd word regstreeks op SuperSport Schools uitgesaai – Registreer nou

Die skole het mekaar in 2022 ook aangepak en daar was bitter min om die twee skole te skei. Paarl Gimnasium wen toe daardie wedstryd 12-6.

Dit was egter verlede jaar Paarl se eerste wedstryd van die seisoen en hulle sal baie meer voorbereid voel vir hierdie ontmoeting nadat hulle verlede naweek reeds momentum begin opbou het deur om vir Potch Gimnasium 83-3 af te trap.

Stellenberg se seuns is ook al goed aan die gang. Hulle het hul eerste wedstryd teen Worcester Gimnasium 38-19 gewen en verlede Sondag naelskraaps 20-22 teen Grey High School in Gqeberha verloor.

Stellenberg het al menigte male gewys dat hulle teen die top rugbyskole in Suid Afrika kan meeding, en hulle sal die Paarl seuns se spoed sommer vroeg in die seisoen wil breek.

Vaskopstut, Herman Lubbe, is die enigste speler van verlede jaar se span wat teen Paarl Gim gespeel het wat hierdie jaar weer uitdraf vir Stellenberg.

Paarl Gimnasium speel al sedert 1902 rugby, en het oor die jare talle Springbokke en SA Skole-spelers opgelewer.

Een van hul oud skoliere wat ook ‘n Springbok geword het Pieter Rossouw is sedert 2016 al hoofafrigter by sy alma mater en Gimmies beleef nou al vir ‘n paar seisoene groot sukses onder sy leiding. 

Dit is hierdie sukses wat in 2022 beteken het dat hulle as die top o.19 rugbyspan in die land aangewys is wat hulle hierdie seisoen sal wil repliseer.

Met bietjie meer tyd om voor te berei, ‘n reuse wen agter die rug en die tuisveldvoordeel behoort Paarl Gim goed te voel oor hul kanse die naweek, maar Stellenberg moet glad nie onderskat word nie.

Die spanne is:

Paarl Gimnasium: 15 Tazreeq Moerat, 14 Roland Vivier, 13 Enzo Labuschagne, 12 Hennie Otto, 11 Pieter-Nel du Plessis, 10 Kyle Smith, 9 Dawid Kotze, 8 Henno Swanepoel, 7 Louw du Toit, 6 Adraún Kotze, 5 Marco Steyn, 4 Danio Botha, 3 Nicholas Crous, 2 Jannie Grobbelaar, 1 Xander Mynhardt

Stellenberg: 15 Stefan Roux, 14 Dehan Neethling, 13 Estian Steyn, 12 Ruben Thompson, 11 Luc Cilliers, 10 Tyron Labuschagne, 9 Clyde Frieslaar, 8 Marco Ferreira, 7 Luke Buckle, 6 Damon Pereira, 5 Zian Erasmus, 4 Sebastian Johnson, 3 Herman Lubbe, 2 Almero Keizer, 1 Ryk Groenewald.

 

There have already been some interesting challenges early in the schools rugby season but the intensity is sure to move up a level when the GBS Graeme College Festival kicks off in Makhanda on Thursday.

This year’s tournament, running from Thursday to Saturday to mark the school’s 150^th anniversary, will provide further opportunities for a host of coaches to continue fine-tuning their teams for the upcoming season.

Besides demonstrating what the cream of the Eastern Cape schools have to offer, there will be some serious opposition from teams further afield as Grey College, Hilton and SACS each play two matches over the three days.

Cape Town side SACS are down for two fixtures which should attract a lot of interest, opening the first team programme on the Somerset Field on Thursday against St Andrew’s and then being part of the festival climax when they take on hosts Graeme College on Saturday afternoon.

Both Graeme and SACS received excellent preparation for the festival in their weekend matches, with the former outclassing Daniel Pienaar 41-0 and the Cape Town outfit running rampant against Belville in a 59-14 result.

They both know, however, that the ante will be upped in Makhanda festival as the teams seek to lay down a marker for the season.

Graeme have given themselves two proper challenges in SACS and Framesby, but coach Jonty van der Meulen said they were looking forward to playing against teams they rarely meet.

“There is definitely a sense of excitement for the festival and we are looking forward to the two matches we have,” he said.

“They are two serious challenges, but it’s nice to play Framesby because we don’t have an annual fixture with them, while SACS, who compete in a very strong league in Cape Town, will be another great test.”

The first day should set the tone for an exciting three days of schoolboy rugby, with a number of appetising fixtures on the menu.

Kariega powerhouse Brandwag take on Hilton College from KwaZulu-Natal in the second fixture on Thursday and that should be a real blockbuster, while the Kingswood-Queen’s showdown, a regular feature of the traditional Graeme Rugby Day, is a match-up that seldom disappoints.

The first day winds down with what will be the ultimate test for Marlow Agricultural when they take on one of South Africa’s most successful rugby schools in Grey College.

The Cradock outfit have had some good game time this year, with three matches already under their belts.

Although they lost to the perennially strong Boland Landbou side at the weekend, the 22-17 scoreline suggests they put up admirable opposition. And wins earlier this month against Jim Fouche and Selborne underlined their credentials.

Understandably, Grey College are a different proposition altogether and Marlow will have to show self-belief and determination in abundance to manage the challenge from the Bloemfontein giants.

Besides the first team programme, the Graeme campus will be a buzz of activity, with age-group matches taking place on the Marais A and B fields over the three days.

The first two days will see the teams from U14 to U16 in action and then Saturday hosts an U13 festival, a first for the annual Graeme event.

GEORGE. – Die Kwaggas het die 100 jaar vloek oorkom tydens die hoofwedstryd van hul Eeufees Sportdag hier.

Hoërskool Outeniqua het in ‘n klipharde stryd vir Hoërskool Noordheuwel van Krugersdorp met 18-14 verslaan om te verseker dat die vreugdevure tot laat gisteraand nog hier gebrand het.

Die Kwaggas het spel in die eerste helfte oorheers, maar kon slegs met ‘n skrale voorsprong van 7-3 lemoene gaan eet. Sy SA Skole A-heelagter, JT Strydom, het ‘n hele paar gevaarlike lopies van agter geloots vanaf Nories se skoppe wat verligting moes bring.

Strydom se lopies kon nie vir sy span drieë in die sak bring nie. Die tuisspan se flank Brendan Gouws se werksverrigting asook hoe hy sy lyf op die spel geplaas het, het uitgestaan.

Sy flankmaat, Dewald Gerber, asook die SA Skole-loskopstut, Ruan Swart, het ook uitmuntend vertoon.

Vir Nories kan die haker, Juandré Schoeman, baie tevrede met sy vertoning voel. Die heelagter, Cheswill Jooste, was ook gevaarlik elke keer wat hy die bal in besit geneem het.

Hoërskool Waterkloof se Blou Tornado het duidelik vanjaar so bietjie meer slaankrag as die vorige paar jaar.

Hy het vir Oakdale Landbou met 8-5 in ‘n klipharde kragmeting tydens die feesvieringe in George verslaan. Die Klofies het met die sege ook sommer so bietjie tong vir die organiseerders van die Wildeklawer-toernooi uitgesteek.

Die Klofies het veral beïndruk met hul fisieke aanslag teen ‘n span soos Oakdale wat daarvoor bekend is dat hulle kliphard is.

Die Klofies se Jean Jooste (flank), Dale Arlow (slot) en Dewald Müller (agtsteman) kan meer as tevrede met hul vertonings voel.

Die Hoërskool Secunda se rugbyspan het nou wel soos soos in Nico Nel se bekende grap teen ‘n veel groter span van Paul Roos Gimnasium te staan gekom, maar die span het nie nodig gehad om soos in die grap met hul bus die veld te betree nie.

Secunda het oor genoeg grofgeskut van hul eie beskik om die rugbyfabriek van Stellenbosch te laat sweet vir ‘n sege van 17-5. Die spanne het na ‘n strawwe eerste helfte met geen telling op die telbord gaan rus.

Paul Roos se losskakel, Lee-Jay Petersen, het na vier minute se spel in die tweede helfte daarin geslaag om Secunda oop te vlek om die eerste punte aan te teken.

Secunda is ‘n goed afgerigde span wat veral met hul lynstaanwerk in die kragmeting beïndruk het. Sy flank Hanré Hattingh asook die losskakel, Ethan Coetzee, het skitterende vertonings opgedis.

Grey High School van Gqeberha en Stellenberg het vir die eerste keer ooit mekaar op die rugbyveld tydens die Eeufees ontmoet.

Die Jade Brigade het vroeg gewys dat hulle die span van die Baai met tradisionele skolerugby ore wil aansit en ‘n voorsprong van 20-10 teen rustyd opgebou.

Grey het egter nooit gaan lê nie en skitterend terug geveg om uiteindelik met 22-20 as oorwinnaars van die veld te stap. Die wenspan se plaasvervanger-buitesenter, Lavela Pongolo, het met sy hardlooplyne die gang van die wedstryd geswaai.

Stellenberg se binnesenter, Ruben Thompson, het ‘n paar manne met sy onverskrokke verdediging met bloukolle in die ribbes gelaat. Hy het met ongeveer drie minute se speeltyd oor in die wedstryd met ‘n strafdoel-poging die geleentheid gehad om die sege vir sy span te beklink, maar die skop was ongelukkig skeef.

Boland Landbou het in nog ‘n swaargewig stryd op George vir Marlow Landbou met 22-17 getroef. Die wenspan se vaskopstut, Pieter de Jager, is ‘n meneer in die skrums.

Die Wolramme se kaptein en agtsteman, Burrie van Heerden, het soos gewoontlik uitstaande spel gelewer.

Welkom Gimnasium het op sy tuisveld vir Monument van Krugersdorp met die kous oor die kop (31-26) huis toe gestuur. Dit was Gimmies se eerste sege ooit oor die Wit Bulle.

Paarl Gimnasium het sy seisoen met ‘n sege van 83-3 oor Potchefstroom Gimnasium afgeskop en in die proses 11 drieë ingeryg. Die Hoër Jongenskool Paarl het ook sy seisoen afgeskop, maar moes veel harder werk om HTS Drostdy met 13-6 te klop.

Boishaai se ysterflank Divan Fuller moes die veld weens ‘n enkelbesering verlaat. Dit blyk egter dat hy nie te lank op die krukkelys behoort te wees nie.

Hoërskool Durbanville se vleuel James Nero ryg alweer die drieë in. Hy het verlede jaar 32 drieë vir die skool se eerstespan gedruk en gister het hy nog drie drieë in sy span se sege van 54-0 oor HTS Bellville by sy totaal gevoeg.

Outeniqua’s First XV will face Hoërskool Noordheuwel of Krugersdorp in the main match of their Centenary Festival in George on Saturday. All the matches will be live-streamed via SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).

If the event could even get more special it will be the first time that the Kwaggas would make use of their new change room which was build by old boy Ryno Gerber (2004) and one of the first team’s former coaches Eugene Viviers.

Gerber played tighthead prop for the Kwaggas when they was crowned national champions during Media 24’s competition (big schools) back in 2004. Viviers coached the Kwaggas during the 1998 and 1999 seasons.

Outeniqua are without a doubt contenders to be counted among the top five schoolboy rugby teams for the 2023 season. The pressure of representing their school during its centenary will however also weigh heavy on this team.

The Kwaggas opened their season last week with a comfortable victory of 59-6 over Parel Vallei.

Their clash against Noordheuwel promises to be an exciting encounter as the visitors with players like JT Kapank (flyhalf), Coun-Lee Koekman (scrumhalf) and Marshall de Vos (centre) in the backline prefer to run the ball.

The Kwaggas got a star studded team but the danger men are without a doubt JT Strydom (fullback), Jay Jay Daters (wing), Dewald Gerber (flanker) and Ruan Swart (prop).

Strydom represented the South African Schools A-side in 2022, while Swart played for the SA Schools’ side.

The home side would like to entertain their fans, but a victory will almost the non-negotiable on this special day. Nories are without a doubt honoured to be playing in the main match, but this won’t keep them from trying to spoil Outeniqua’s party.

In the main curtain raiser, Oakdale Landbou from Riversdal, will face Hoërskool Waterkloof of Pretoria. The Klofies have a point to prove this season as they were not invited to this year’s edition of the Wildeklawer-tournament.

The visitors from Pretoria would want to keep an eye on Oakdale’s left winger, Therlow Prins. He is quite dangerous with the ball in hand and if given too much space.

Grey High School and the Hoërskool Stellenberg will face each other for the first time ever on a rugby field.

The Jade Brigade’s pack of forwards with Herman Lubbe (prop), Damon Perreira and Marco Ferreira (both flankers) will bring a proper physical onslaught to the match.
