Diocesan College pulled off a massive 13-8 statement victory against their old rivals, Rondebosch Boys’ High, on the Tinkie Heyns field in Rondebosch over the weekend.

This was the 201st time these two sides’ first teams have faced each other, and they produced a battle fitting the occasion, showcasing why this rivalry has remained so strong over all these years.

David Simon (fullback) opened the scoring early, converting a penalty to give the home team the lead.

It wasn’t long before Shaywan Blankenberg, Bishops’ flyhalf, who has recently been selected as part of the Western Province XV team, who will be competing at the Craven Week next month, levelled the score.

After a physical back and forth between the two teams, during which neither looked equally likely to score, it was the Rondebosch prop, Nicolas Swier, who finally broke the stalemate, barging over the line for the first try of the match.

Diocesan College’s exciting play-breaker fullback, Gilermo Mentoe, had the final say in the half, scoring a beautiful try in the final moments, which Blankenberg converted to give the visitors a 10-8 lead at halftime.

The second half was an epic battle, with nothing separating the two teams over more than 35 minutes of play apart from an early penalty conversion by Blankenberg.

There was by no means a lack of action, though, as both teams gave their everything in this classic southern suburbs derby.

Rondebosch must also be commended for not conceding more, even when down to 14 men with a yellow card. In fact, they were still taking the game to Bishops, managing to build attacks, even with their handicap.

Each enterprising attacking move was met with resolute defence as they traded blows, with neither team giving an inch.

During the last seven minutes of the match, the Bishops defence braved 19 phases of Rondebosch attacking pick and drive around the ruck within five metres of their own try line.

This phenomenal win by the visiting team sets up a thrilling rematch in August on the Piley Rees, when they face each other again.

Nichollas Molyneux, Rondebosch Boys’ High’s outside centre, performed exceptionally well for his team. He was rock solid in defence, quick over the ball at the rucks and looked exciting every time he carried the ball forward.

The massive defensive efforts by the visiting team and a moment of magic by Mentoe made the difference for Bishops as they secured victory.

Just up the road, SACS were also hosting Wynberg Boys’ High in another big southern suburbs derby.

Wynberg found their form after a difficult run, managing to showcase more of their potential and securing an impressive 30-17 victory.

Their captain, flanker and sole Western Province Craven Week representative, Xola Nyali, led from the front, scoring the first try for the visiting team.

Their versatile fullback, Xolela Hoyi scored a brace, and the trusty boot of their flyhalf, Yaqeen Ahmed added another 15 points as they steadily kept on adding scoreboard pressure.

Two tries in quick succession by Jack Benade (winger) and Ben van Coller (no. 8) cushioned the blow and showed what the SACS attack is capable of, but it was too little too late, and the Wynberg team expertly managed the remaining time to secure their first win since the 6th of May, when they showed what they are capable of, beating Grey High School 35-8.

Scorers:

Wynberg Boys’ High 30 (20) – Tries: Xolela Hoyi (2), Xola Nyali. Conversions: Yaqeen Ahmed (3). Penalties: Ahmed (3). SACS 17 (3) – Tries: Jack Benade, Ben van Coller. Conversions: Rayaan Solomons (2). Penalty: Solomons.

Diocesan College 13 (10) – Try: Gilermo Mentoe. Conversion: Shaywan Blankenberg. Penalties: Blankenberg (2). Rondebosch Boys’ High 8 (8) – Try: Nicolas Swier. Penalty: David Simon.

Other results:

Paarl Gimnasium showed why they are considered among the top sides this year with another powerful performance against the visiting Oakdale Landbou, beating them 36-12.

The home team were dominant throughout the game, but they were especially imposing in the first half, during which they completely overpowered Oakdale.

They went into the halftime break with a convincing 24-0 lead, this would also end up being their winning margin as both teams scored 12 points in the second half.

An early try by Jannie Grobbelaar (hooker), after a well-executed lineout move got the home team on the scoreboard first.

Dawid Kotze (scrumhalf), Kyle Smith (flyhalf) and Louw du Toit (flanker) then scored in quick succession after about 20 minutes, to build a comfortable buffer for their team.

Smith, who has been chosen to represent Western Province at flyhalf at the Craven Week, showed his world-class ability when he scored his try, receiving the ball in his own half, and cutting through the defence, untouched.

The second half started much the same as the first had ended. Hennie Otto (centre), who attended Oakdale Landbou before coming to Paarl Gimnasium, found a gap and broke the line against his old alumni and gave the ball out to Freek de Kock (winger) who could dive over the line to extend their lead.

Even when the Oakdale players seemed to find their rhythm in the second half, the Gimmies remained steadfast and it took a full 60 minutes before Roy Viljoen (lock) managed to burst over the line for his team’s first points.

Scoring a try seemed to energize the visitors, and Erick Steyn (eighthman) scored another, which he managed to convert as well.

The Gimmies were never in trouble though, Nicolas Nel (eighthman) scored the final try, in the last moments of the game, to get the last word in for the hosts.

This Paarl Gimnasium side is looking better every week, and having only lost one game against Grey College 33-12 earlier in the season, it seems unlikely that they will lose again this year.

They will especially be looking forward to the big Paarl derby against Paarl Boys’ High at the end of the year.

Boishaai have 11 players in the two WP Craven Week sides, as opposed to the five Gimmies in those teams, but Paarl Gim will probably still enter that match as favourites, based on current form.

Because of the extraordinarily heavy rainfall in the region, only the top teams travelled from Oakdale, as some of the fields weren’t playable this weekend.

Paarl Gim almost managed a whitewash against the visitors, with Oakdale’s U16 A team being the only ones who managed to secure a victory over the weekend.

Scorers:

Paarl Gimnasium 36 (24) – Tries: Freek de Kock, Kyle Smith, Dawid Kotze, Nicolas Nel, Louw du Toit, Jannie Grobbelaar. Conversions: Smith (2), Tazreeq Moerat. Oakdale Landbou 12 (0) – Tries: Roy Viljoen, Erick Steyn. Conversion: Steyn.

Other results:

u19 – Paarl Gimnasium II 43, Oakdale Landbou II 21; Paarl Gimnasium III 41, Oakdale Landbou III 13.

u16 – Oakdale Landbou 40, Paarl Gimnasium 18.

u15 – Paarl Gimnasium 26, Oakdale Landbou 0.

u14 – Paarl Gimnasium 36, Oakdale Landbou 10.

While most of the action in the Western Province has come to an end for the term, the Southern Suburbs are still at each other over the weekend.

Rondebosch Boys’ High hosts their old foes, Diocesan College, on the Tinkie Heyns field for what is set to be an exciting matchup, with both teams performing well so far this season.

Both teams are looking for a return to form after going down to the two big Paarl sides last weekend. Bishops lost to Paarl Gimnasium by 45-7 and Rondebosch just came up short 12-7 against Paarl Boys’ High.

That said, both of these teams have been playing really well and will see this as a big test which will play a definite part in determining the success of their respective seasons and take them one step closer to being able to claim the top-dog status in the southern suburbs.

The quality of their play this year is reflected in the Western Province provincial teams’ selections, where both schools have done well to have players included, in spite of the fierce competition for places in the representative teams from the schools from Paarl.

Rondebosch’s big prop, Justin Amos, is included in the Western Province Craven Week side, where he will be playing alongside Hassiem Pead (scrumhalf), Aiden Norris (no. 8) and Gilermo Mentoe (fullback) from Bishops.

The home team’s fullback, David Simon, and winger, Juma Amissi, have been selected for the WP Craven Week XV. Shaywan Blankenberg, Bishops’ flyhalf, has also made that team after playing for the WP Academy side last year.

Before they switch their jerseys for the provincial colours and begin preparing to play together, however, there will be no inch given on Saturday, as they fight it out in Rondebosch for the first of two encounters this year.

These two teams will meet each other again in August, this time on the Piley Rees field, for their second game of the season, so the Rondebosch boys will want to make sure they make the most of the home ground advantage while they have it.

The rivalry between the neighbouring schools has always been strong since they first played each other in 1908 when a Bishops U16 team beat Wynberg U16  112-0.

Since then, however, it has been a much closer contest. Rondebosch won both encounters last year, beating Bishops 43-26 at home and 20-15 on the Diocesan College fields.

SACS is hosting Wynberg Boys’ High for the first of their two fixtures.

Wynberg came out on top in both of their derby games against SACS last year, beating them 40-15 and 16-5.

Both teams have had a difficult run of late and will be desperate to return to winning ways. It could go either way.

Wynberg appears to have the stronger squad though, as they have two players in the Craven Week team and four in the Craven Week XV.

Yaqeen Ahmed (flyhalf) and captain, Xola Nyali (flanker) represent their school in the Western Province Craven Week squad, while Torren February (flanker), Ethan Hendricks (no. 8), Luqobo Makwedini (prop) and Sange Mbutho (scrumhalf) have made the cut for the WP XV.

Makwedini was also part of the Sharks’ Grant Khomo team last year when he was attending Durban High School.

Ikhona Maxegwana (prop) is the only player from SACS to make the WP XV.

The SACS boys will be looking forward to the opportunity to show that they may have been overlooked though, and both teams will want to end the term on a high.

Wynberg are without their fullback, Matthew Ould and flanker, February. Their playmaker winger, Xolela Hoyi, covers fullback and Levi Brown starts at wing, while Da Costa moves to the flank position and Monty Loggenberg gets the start at lock.

February and Hendricks are on the bench for Wynberg.

SACS remain unchanged from the team that lost to Paul Roos (26-7) in Stellenbosch last weekend.

The teams are:

Die sentrale streke se provinsiale spanne pak mekaar hierdie naweek weer aan, hierdie keer op Diamantveld se velde in Kimberley, nadat hulle verlede week by die Vrystaat Bondedag vir die eerste keer in aksie was in voorbereideing vir die Cravenweek.

Die wedstryde op die A-veld by die Griekwas Bondedag word regstreeks op SuperSport Schools uitgesaai – Registreer nou

Die hoofwedstryd van die dag is die bepaling tussen die Griffons en die Vrystaat se Cravenweek spanne.

Vrystaat het verlede naweek vir Griekwas met 97-10 geslag en die Griffons het ook ‘n sterk vertoning gelewer om die Vrystaat Akademiespan 24-19 te oorkom.

Pieter van der Merwe, Grey-kollege se blitsige senter, het vier keer agter die doellyn gaan kuier in daardie wedstryd.

Sy skoolspanmaats, Ian van der Merwe (losskakel) en Keagan Scholtz (flank ) het ook uitgestaan vir hul spel.

Stefan Venter, die haker van Jim Fouché, was weer op topvorm laas naweek, en sal die geleentheid wil gebruik om weer te wys hoekom hy die eerste keuse haker in die Vrystaat is.

Valentino Lenge, die Diamantveld senter, het al Griekwas se punte aangeteken teen die Vrystaat en bewys dat hy sy plek in die Cravenweek span ten volle verdien, nie dat daar enige twyfel oor die saak was nie, hy is nog heel seisoen ook een van die uitblinkers vir sy skool.

Die Griekwas sal wil seker maak oor hul wedstryd teen die Vrystaat Akademiespan om momentum te bou voor die Cravenweek, maar hierdie Akademiespan is ook vol talent, en daardie wedstryd beloof om ‘n goeie toets te wees vir albei spanne.

Die Cravenweek word vanjaar deur Outeniqua in George aangebied tussen 3 en 7 Julie.

Die spanne is:

Terwyl meeste van die bepalings in die streek al opgedroog het voor die komende skoolvakansie en provinsiale kompetisies is daar steeds ‘n groot stryd wat wag waneer Oakdale Landbou hierdie Saterdag vir Paarl Gimnasium aandurf op die Kriel-veld in die Paarl.

As gevolg van die winterreën wat baie van die rugbyvelde in die Boland onspeelbaar gelaat het sal dit net die verskeie ouderdomsgroepe se A-spanne wees wat Saterdag speel, asook die onder 19 tweede- en derdespanne.

Paarl Gimnasium geniet weer ‘n uitstekende seisoen hierdie jaar, oor die laaste twee wedstryde geniet die eerstespan ‘n punteverskil van 118-10 na twee sterk vertonings teen Diocesan College (45-7) en SACS (73-3).

Hulle is sonder twyfel die span op vorm in die Weskaap, en daar sal ‘n paar spelers wees met ‘n punt om te bewys na die Cravenweek-spanne gedurende die week bekend gemaak is.

Kyle Smith (losskakel) en Danio Botha (slot) is die twee Gimmies in die WP Cravenweek-span, terwyl Kurt Coetzee (senter), Therlow Prins (vleuel), Hanno Louw (flank), Devon Windvogel (stut), Karlo Truter (stut), Erick Steyn (no. 8) en Shaydon Fradie (losskakel) die Oakdale Landbou spelers is wat vir die Suid-Wes Distrik Cravenweek-span gekies is.

Marco Steyn (slot), Xander Mynhardt (stut) en Louw du Toit (flank) is ook gekies om vir Paarl Gimnasium in die WP XV by die Cravenweek te verteenwoordig.

Paarl Gim is sonder hul twee WP-slotte vir hierdie kragmeting, Jan-Lourens du Toit en Eduan Vosloo begin die wedstryd in Botha en Steyn se plekke.

Oakdale is ook sonder hul Cravenweek-senter, Coetzee, terwyl die stut, Windvogel, op die reserwebank begin,

Verlede jaar het Paarl Gimnasium vir Oakdale met 42-10 geklop, en die Oakdale Lanbou span sal op hul beste moet wees om die tuisspan te ontstel hierdie jaar.

Oakdale Landbou het al vroeër in die seisoen met die ander groot kompetisie uit die Paarl afgereken toe hulle 20-17 teen Paarl Boys’ High op die plaas in Riversdal kon wen.

Die Gimmies lyk egter asof hulle ‘n trap bo die res is in die Weskaap hierdie jaar, en die Oakdale boere sal moet reg wees vir ‘n uiters fisiese wedstryd.

Die spanne is:

Paarl Gimnasium t. Oakdale Landbou om 12:30:

Paarl Gimnasium:15 Tazreeq Moerat, 14 Freek de Kock, 13 Hennie Otto, 12 Roland Viviers, 11 Pieter-Nel du Plessis, 10 Kyle Smith, 9 Dawid Kotze, 8 Nicolas Nel, 7 Louw du Toit, 6 Adrúan Kotze, 5 Jan-Lourens du Toit, 4 Eduan Vosloo, 3 Joubert du Toit, 2 Jannie Grobbelaar, 1 Xander Mynhardt.

Western Province has announced their two teams for this year’s annual Craven Week in George.

Paarl Boys’ High has the biggest representation within the two squads with 11 players that will make the trip to the Garden Route next month.

Jameel de Jongh (winger), and JC Mars (fullback) are the only two players returning from last year’s Craven Week squad and the two Boishaai playmakers will have an important role in the team as the senior players. They were part of a strong WP side last year, winning all of their matches.

Xola Nyali (flanker), Danio Botha (lock), Kyle Smith (flyhalf), Gino Cupido (centre), Scott Nel (winger), Herman Lubbe (prop) and Hashim Pead (scrumhalf) have worked their way into the Craven Week squad this year, after they were all part of the WP Craven Week XV team in 2022.

Shaywan Blankenberg, the Diocesan College flyhalf, has been selected for the WP XV as well, after playing for the WP Academy team last year.

Riley Norton, the flanker from Paul Roos is also a non-travelling reserve for the SA Under-19 Cricket squad who will be touring Bangladesh for a five-match 50-over series from 3 to 18 July.

He has made the cut along with some big names, including Liam Alder and Kwena Maphaka who represented SA at the 2022 ICC Under-19 World Cup last year, as well as Dewan Marais, Juan James, David Teegar and Richard Seletswane, who were part of the junior Proteas team to win last season’s CSA T20 Knockout Competition.

At only 17 years old, being included in both of these teams is a massive achievement for the dynamic sportsman from Stellenbosch.

Torren February, who was a flanker for the Grant Khomo team in 2022 has been selected for the WP XV.

These teams are still subject to change and the coaches will look forward to the Western Cape Bondedag, where they will be able to run their final trials and finalize selections. The fixtures for that event are still to be announced.

The Craven Week kicks off at Outeniqua in George on the 3rd of July.

The teams: 

Western Province: 15 JC Mars (Paarl Boys’ High), 14 Scott Nel (Paarl Boys’ High), 13 Gino Cupido (Strand), 12 Albie Bester (Boland Landbou), 11 Jameel de Jongh (Paarl Boys’ High), 10 Kyle Smith (Paarl Gimnasium), 9 Hashim Pead (Diocesan College), 8 Marco Ferreira (Stellenberg), 7 Divan Fuller (Paarl Boys’ High), 6 Xola Nyali (Wynberg Boys’ High), 5 Van Heerden Pretorius (Paarl Boys’ High), 4 Danio Botha (Paarl Gimnasium), 3 Ryan Jack (Paul Roos Gimnasium), 2 Cilliers Viljoen (Boland Landbou), 1 Christoff Etzebeth (Boland Landbou).

Paul Roos Gimnasium return to the Markotter this weekend to face SACS after their statement victory against Paarl Boys’ High away in Paarl last weekend.

The Maroon Machine’s lineup remains unchanged from the team that got their first victory against Booishaai (35-17) in Paarl since 2003 last Saturday.

Their opponents played the other big Paarl school two weekends ago, on the 20th of May, with much less success as Paarl Gimnasium beat SACS 73-3

The SACS boys regrouped well to get back to winning ways against Hoërskool Bellville last weekend, spurred on by a heroic performance by their captain, Ali Osman-Bosch (prop), who scored a hattrick of tries for his team.

They will need to be at their best again to upset a Paul Roos side who seem to be getting better every weekend and have already done away with the likes of Boishaai and Rondebosch Boys’ High (27-7) in the last two weeks, coming up just short against Paarl Gim (24-19) before that.

Zeke January (scrumhalf) and Leejay Pieterse (flyhalf) have been an incredible pairing in the midfield, and much of the home team’s success has also been due to the incredible work rate of players like Ruben Kruger (no. 8) and captain, Andreas Oosthuizen (flanker) at the front.

Boland Landbou have had a weekend off and will be excited to get back out on the field against Wynberg Boys’ High on Saturday.

They need to be wary though, as this is a Wynberg side who have lost three games with the narrowest of margins in the last three weeks.

Despite the fact that they have been playing some really exciting rugby, taking Rondebosch Boys’ High (20-16), Paarl Boys’ High (33-29) and Diocesan College (14-10) to the very last moments, they lost all three of those games and will be desperate to return to the form they showed when they beat Grey High 35-8 at the beginning of May.

Having gone almost a month without a victory can also demoralise a team, it will take some character to keep fighting and gain some momentum again before the holiday break.

They will be bolstered by the return of Ammier Adams at centre but are without the services of their big tighthead prop, Luqobo Makwedini. He is replaced by Leo Addinall.

Boland Landbou takes pride in their forward pack, and the visitors will have to dig in deep to stand against the likes of Cilliers Viljoen (hooker) and Hans Verster (flanker), but Boland will have to make do without their captain and talisman centre, Albie Bester.

Diocesan College host Paarl Gimnasium in Rondebosch on the Piley Rees at 12:30 on Saturday as exam season causes the Western Cape fixtures to abate.

The match will be available on SuperSport Schools – Register now

If your team isn’t playing this weekend it is the perfect opportunity to catch some of the premier sides in action. Paarl Gimnasium consistently ranks among the best in the country, and the Bishops first team have already come away with some statement victories this season and will look to take down the giants from Paarl on their home field on Saturday

When these two teams met in Paarl last year, Gimmies won comfortably 57-26.

The home team’s standout players this year, flyhalf, Shaywan Blankenberg, fullback, Gilermoe Mentoe, and scrumhalf, Hassiem Pead, were playing in that game as grade 11’s and will be looking for revenge on the Piley Rees field when they face their old foes again, having benefitted from another year’s development and maturity.

It will take a mammoth effort to overcome this Paarl Gim side though, they have been formidable this season, only losing one game to Grey College (33-12) thus far.

Most recently, they secured a massive 73-3 win over SACS, showing just how in tune the boys from Paarl are at the moment.

Since then they’ve had a weekend to rest and recover and will be itching to get back on the field and continue building their momentum.

When Bishops played SACS earlier in the year they also managed to win, but the margin was much narrower (31-25) and if the Gimmie performance from their last game is anything to go by, the home team will have their hands full this weekend.

Bishops have had success this season as well though, recently beating Stellenberg (22-7) and Wynberg Boys’ High (14-10) and narrowly losing out to Boland Landbou (22-19).

They also beat Helpmekaar (31-30) in one of the highlights of the Saint Stithians Festival in April, and they will know that they have it in them to cause a big upset against the powerhouse from Paarl.

Gimmies have been carrying the banner for the southern teams though, and players like Tazreeq Moerat (fullback), Roland Viviers (centre) and Kyle Smith (flyhalf) have been phenomenal on the attack, aided by the foundations set by the big boys up front. Both flankers, Adrúan Kotze and Louw du Toit have been phenomenal in their roles, and their prop, Xander Mynhardt, takes some stopping when carrying the ball.

Bishops’ pack will need to be at their best to compete with the physicality and pure power of the visitors, but it will be essential for the likes of Aidan Norris (no. 8), James le Feuvre (flanker) and Tapiwa Nkumanda (flanker) to disrupt the Paarl Gim rhythm to avoid a romp. They have shown their excellent work rate before, but they’ll need to be firing on all cylinders this weekend.

The home side will still remember 2015 well when they last beat Paarl Gim on the Piley Rees thanks to a brace by Tristan Leyds, who plays Currie Cup for the Western Province now and is the younger brother of ex-Springbok and two times Champions Cup winner with La Rochelle, Dillyn Leyds, who is also an alumnus of Diocesan College.

Cornel Smit who also plays for the Western Province now was prominent for Bishops in that game in 2015 as well, converting all five tries, of which he scored one himself.

There will be a big battle in the northern suburbs when Hoërskool Durbanville hosts Hoërskool Bellville.

The Durbies have been great so far this season and will want to get another big win in front of their loyal home crowd.

Rondebosch Boys’ High look to follow up their last-minute 20-16 victory over their rivals Wynberg Boys’ High last weekend when they face a wounded Paarl Boys’ High team this weekend.

Watch the game live on SuperSport Schools – Register now

Boishaai also managed to beat Wynberg (33-29) they met two weeks ago, saving the win with a try in the final play, but the Paarl team had to bend the knee to Paul Roos Gimnasium last weekend (35-17), losing to their rivals from Stellenbosch at home for the first time in 20 years.

The visitors are definitely the stronger side on paper, having put in some really impressive performances already this season.

They’ve been the standout team at a number of festivals this year, winning both games at the North/South in Pretoria against Jeppe (43-21) and the hosts, Affies (36-19), coming out on top in all three games at the KES Easter Festival against Selborne (48-5), Northwood (29-7) and the hosts, King Edward VII (10-8) and beating Glenwood (35-13) and Helpmekaar (15-10) at the Absa Wildeklawer festival in Kimberley.

This intense schedule has seen the juggernaut from Paarl trip up a couple of times though, as Hoërskool Durbanville beat them 26-25 at the beginning of the season, Oakdale Landbou got the better of them with 20-17 on the farm, and then they lost out, despite a valiant effort, against Grey College, 39-30.

This last defeat against Paul Roos will have been tough to swallow, and Rondebosch needs to be wary of Boishaai using this game to make a statement.

Rondebosch have already proven that they can hold their own this season though, and it was only last year when they upset Boishaai in Paarl, winning 21-19.

The home team are unfortunately without the services of their captain, Polite Phiri (flanker), Alutha Wesi moves from centre to cover his position at the side of the scrum. Matthew Malherbe comes in at centre.

The visitors have also been forced to make a couple of changes, while their dangerous backline remains intact from the previous weekend, Divan Fuller moves to the back of the scrum in the place of Douw Wessels, covering the no. 8 position, while Chris Nel starts at flanker.

Their big prop Alfie Holm also moves to loosehead and Evan Kotze (prop) and Dewald Scheepers (hooker) replace Michael Pretorius and HB Odendaal to complete the front row.

Stellenberg have had a tough season so far, but they’ve shown glimpses of their potential in games like the victories over Maritzburg (36-24) and Helpmekaar (22-20) and will hope to find some form when they take on Parel Vallei.

Their captain and stalwart flanker, Damon Pereira, has unfortunately been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.

Alex Schoeman takes his place on the side of the scrum this weekend and Corné Bruwer (lock) takes over the captain’s responsibilities.

Parel Vallei are also in desperate need of another win though, having had a tough season themselves, despite an impressive performance against Frikkie Meyer at the Rolyn Bergsig tournament in Rustenburg, where they managed to secure a 15-all draw against the team from Thabazimbi.

The teams:

Rondebosch Boys High vs Paarl Boys’ High at Tinkie Heyns at 12:15:

Hierdie spanne mag nog verander, en die byeenkoms bied nog ‘n kans aan die seuns om die keurders te beïndruk.

Die Vrystaat span bestaan, na verwagtinge, meestal uit spelers van Grey-kollege, met die Bloemfonteinse rugbyfabriek wat weereens ‘n uiterse sterk seisoen beleef hierdie jaar.

Die Griekwa span word weer opgedeel tussen Noord-Kaap, Hoërskool Upington en Diamantveld. Damian MacClean (Curro Kathu), Dwayne Lubbe (Prieska), Dwayne Lubbe (Prieska) en Gert-White Grobbelaar (Duineveld) is die enigst drie spelers van ander skole.

Die Griffon span moet glad nie onderskat word nie.

Welkom Gimnasium beleef ‘n sterk seisoen en maak die meerderheid van die span op, maar daar is ook opwindende spelers van Hoërskool Trio, Hentie Cilliers, Witteberg en Voortrekker in die groep en hulle mag dalk sorg vir ‘n paar verrassings.

Die spanne op die A-veld is:
