  • Bulldogs and Brakkies headline action-packed weekend in the Western Cape

    While many of the big teams are participating in tournaments across the country this week, the Western Cape will still be treated to top-class schoolboy rugby action, with some exciting matchups scheduled for Saturday.

    Parel Vallei was on the receiving end of a wounded Outeniqua side in their last outing, but they will look to get back on the winning track when they host Hoërskool Brackenfell in Somerset West.

    Despite their loss last time out, the Bulldogs have played some really entertaining rugby this season. The interplay between the backs and the forwards, with Renato Tosi, Michael Kent and Shudley Rhoda starring in their team’s efforts, has seen the PV side to a couple of impressive wins already this season.

    They went down 0-68 to the Kwaggas in George. Before that, though, they bested DF Malan (28-18) and Tygerberg (29-14) and they’ve looked like an especially tough out at home this season.

    The Brakkies have also delivered some highlights this season. They’re coming off an impressive win over Worcester Gimnasium (22-17), away from home, and though they fell short against SACS (27-54) before that, there is no denying their BMT.

    With flyers like Cwenga Ntshapho in the backline, and their playmaker at flyhalf, Junior Louw, guiding their attack, Brackenfell will post a completely different challenge from the other teams who have fallen short in Somerset West.

    Meanwhile, an unbeaten Charlie Hofmeyr outfit travels to take on Langenhoven Gimnasium in Oudtshoorn.

    The home team has been on a winning streak of late, convincingly beating Langenhoven High, from George, 50-19, which they followed up with a 22-17 victory over George High.

    Their opponents from Ceres haven’t yet been stopped in 2024. Philip du Plessis and Zephinith Sass have been two livewires in the Charlies’ outfit, with their star flyhalf, Luan Giliomee, impressing week in and week out.

    Langenhoven also have some game-breakers in their ranks. Giliomee’s opposite number, Cade Cayford, has directed his side’s attack with distinction, and scrummy Jayden Arends has also been a menace to their opposition all season long.

  • Southern suburbs set for scintillating action

    The southern suburbs have an exciting derby weekend to look forward to, with Bishops Diocesan College visiting SACS on the Memorial Field, while Wynberg Boys’ High will seek to keep their incredible run of results going when they host Rondebosch Boys’ High.

    Catch all the action live on SuperSport Schools – Register now

    Wynberg Boys’ High are yet to taste defeat this season and they’ll be eager to continue on the winning path when they tackle their rivals from Rondebosch.

    They convincingly dealt with Bishops last weekend, beating them 35-8 away from home, to kickstart their peninsular campaign.

    With dangermen like the big lock, Jaythen Orange, and their star flyhalf, Yaqeen Ahmed, enjoying a great run of form, the hosts are set up well to avenge their two losses to ‘Bosch last season.

    Captain Aden da Costa and company are the favourites, with their season so far highlighted by a win over Paarl Boys’ High in Paarl, but they’ll be aware that the Southern Suburb double-headers pay no attention to form.

    Both of last year’s matches produced fireworks, with Rondebosch winning the first 20-16, before sneaking a 21-20 victory in the second clash.

    ‘Bosch heads into Saturday’s showdown off the back of two big wins, 45-13 against Melkbosstrand and 55-22 against SACS, and they have shown they possess enough firepower to topple any team.

    Dylan Miller has been spectacular at fullback, and no. 8 Collin Paul Kemp has been just as destructive.

    Meanwhile, SACS will seek to build on the potential they displayed against Paarl Gimnasium last weekend. Despite going down 10-35 to the Paarl giants, SACS impressed and led 7-0 at the break.

    They have, however, been plagued by injuries this season and, unfortunately, they lost their captain Seth Bradford to an injury again against Gim, which was his first match back after going down earlier in the year.

    Nic Reynolds has led the team with distinction in his absence, though, and will continue to do so this weekend when they welcome Bishops to the Memorial Field.

    The Bishops boys will be eager to return to winnings ways after their loss to the marauding Wynberg squad last weekend.

    Wholesale changes to the forward pack brings a new-look Bishops to the fore on Saturday. Alex Smith moves from flanker to lock, and Daniel van den Heever (hooker), Andrew Levett (prop), Josh Macdonald (flanker) and Imma Magongwa (flanker) all get a start after not featuring in the run-on XV last weekend.

  • Bloem Hoër maak geskiedenis teen Sannies

    Foto: Bloemfontein Hoërskool

    Bloemfontein Hoërskool het vandeesweek geskiedenis gemaak deur vir die eerste keer ooit met Sand du Plessis af te reken.

    Brandan Erasmus (flank) en Ora Maleme (vleuel) het elk ‘n tweekuns behaal vir Bloem Hoër om dié mylpaal te behaal.

    Met nog drieë deur Hlalele Motaki (buitesenter) en Wessel van der Merwe (agsteman) het hulle 34 punte sonder antwoord teen Sand du Plessis aangeteken.

    Die lostrio van Erasmus, Van der Merwe en Xander Pretorius was uitstekend. Erasmus het verál die toon aangegee het met sy kragtige lopies en klipharde verdediging

    Nadat hulle vroeër vanjaar reeds vlugtig hul potensiaal tentoongestel het, dien hierdie oorwinning as ‘n duidelike aanduiding van hoe gevaarlik die Bloemfontein-seuns kan wees wanneer hul spelpatroon tot sy reg kom.

    Loskopstut, Jamal Pretorius, en sy makkers het verwoesting gesaai onder die Sannies se voorspelers om hul span deurentyd op die voorvoet te plaas, met Jano Jackson wat sake uitstekend dikteer het vanuit die losskakel-posisie.

    Intussen het Hendrik Potgieter (Reddersburg) en St. Andrew’s School ook wegholseges in hul onderskeie ligabepalings behaal.

    ‘n Driekuns deur die Reddersburg vleuel, Tumi Pholoane, het gehelp om die Hendrik Potgieter-span vir ‘n tweede agtereenvolgende keer verby die 50-punt kerf te dryf, hierdie slag teen Heatherdale. Verlede naweek het hulle ook vir Bloemfontein-Suid met 53-0 kafgedraf.

    St. Andrew’s is oënskynlik in nét so ‘n verwoestende bui, met Hloni Mkhwane se driekuns wat ‘n wegholsege van 52-7 oor Grey-kollege se agstespan beklink het. Saints het ook verlede week vir Heatherdale met 52 punte afgeslag.

  • Hobson heroics see Grey High to victory, Jeppe trumps Graeme

    Gqeberha – Grey High was in phenomenal form on the opening day of their home festival, beginning their campaign on a positive note and building some valuable momentum before their big clash against Graeme College on Saturday.

    Jon Hobson, Grey’s electric no. 8, put on a show for the home supporters, crossing the try line twice, as they stormed to a convincing 33-15 victory over St John’s College.

    It wasn’t easy pickings for the home side, though, as St John‘s launched a valiant fightback after the break.  First, their nippy scrumhalf, Thomas Kruger, unlocked the Grey defence to lift his side’s spirits, and then their big hooker, Kakuhle Tungata, made another breakthrough.

    It wasn’t enough, though, as the hosts, aided by five-pointers from Lavela PongoloBen Wessels and Fletcher Britz, on top of Hobson’s heroics, reigned supreme.

    They’ll look forward to Saturday’s clash against Graeme College, with an eye on exacting revenge, after Graeme beat Grey for the first time in 49 years in 2023.

    The Makhanda school was subjected to a rough outing by a wounded Jeppe High School for Boys, who went down to KES last weekend.

    Jeppe ran in five tries, while Graeme managed only a three-pointer off the boot of Marcus Williams.

    The big flank, Nathan Claassen, had a superb game for the Johannesburg side. He was one of the try-scorers, along with his captain Khuthadzo Rasivhaga, vice-captain Risima Khosa, Matthew Coetzee and Lesego Zungu.

    Queen’s College turned on the style in their match against St Stithians.

    Two tries apiece by the wingers, Ayathanda Mtyando and Jameel Fleshman, helped power the Komani boys to an impressive 54-19 win.

  • St Andrew’s College outmuscles Parktown in Gqeberha

    Gqeberha – St Andrew’s College kicked off their campaign at the Standard Bank Grey High Rugby Festival with an impressive victory over a fired-up Parktown Boys’ High on Thursday.

    College grabbed an early lead, scoring twice without a reply in the first half, for a 10-0 head start.

    Parktown came back strongly in the second half, and their lively no. 9, Thepiso Tladi, made the breakthrough, which got them on the board.

    With their tails up, the Parktown attack kept battering at the SAC defensive line, which remained resolute.

    Julian Mapoore was a standout for St Andrew’s, crossing the try line twice to help his team register a convincing victory on the opening day of the festival.

    They did well to keep their composure once Parktown began finding their rhythm, and they will look forward to carrying their momentum into their next big challenge when they take on Jeppe High School for Boys on Saturday.

    Hudson Park shot out of the blocks in the opener against Die Brandwag, storming to a 19-0 lead by the break.

    In the second half, a brace by the Brandwag fullback, Bihaco Jafta, and two more five-pointers, by Derono Potgieter and Nathan Fraser, gave the boys from Uitenhage the lead as the match drew towards its conclusion.

    However, a last-minute bit of magic by the Hudson boys sent over Msuthu Mbane to level the scores.

    In the second match of the day, Westville Boys’ High had too much firepower for Hoërskool Durbanville.

    The Durbies also fought back in the second half, but a brace by their livewire scrummy, Ruvan van der Westhuizen, was not enough to undo the damage done by the Westville boys early on.

    Gqeberha – The table is set for an action-packed week at the Standard Bank Grey High Rugby Festival showcasing some of the best schoolboy talent in the country.

    Hudson Park and Brandwag kick off the action on Thursday and with 21 games over the two days, fans will have more than enough top-quality rugby to keep them entertained this week.

    Here are five players to keep an eye on at this year’s event.

    Tanner Howard (Loose forward | Grey High)

    The home team’s captain has been in scintillating form this year. He leads from the front and will have a big role to play in their team’s bid to reverse their fortunes against Graeme College in the final match.

    D’noven Scheepers (Hooker | Brandwag)

    The big hooker from Brandwag represented Eastern Province at the Craven Week last year. With a Brandwag attack built around the set pieces, Scheepers is the anchor for his big pack of forwards.

    Luke Cannon (Lock | Jeppe)

    The big Cannon from Jeppe has already shown how destructive he can be. He was a key figure in his side’s historic win over Grey College earlier in the season.

    Ryan Denston (Scumhalf | Queen’s College)

    The dynamic young talent from Queen’s seems to excel at whatever he puts his hands to. He led the 1st XI with distinction on the pitch during the cricket season and has been a livewire for the 1st XV on the rugby field this year.

    Ayola Mali (Lock | Graeme College)

    Mali stood out at the Academy Week last year as part of the Eastern Province team. If they are to upset the hosts by going back-to-back on Saturday, he is sure to play a leading role for his side once again.

  • Welkom Gimmies wen wipplankstryd

    Welkom Gimnasium en Voortrekker was in ‘n verbete wipplankstryd gewikkel verlede Saterdag in Bethlehem, met die besoekers wat uiteindelik die wa met 26-24 kon deurtrek.

    Verlede jaar in Welkom was daar slegs drie punte verskil tussen die twee spanne in die eindstryd van die Griffons-liga, met die Gimmies wat met 29-26 op hul tuisveld gewen het. Toe hulle mekaar vroeër in 2023 ontmoet het, het die Gimmies heelwat makliker met 43-8 geseëvier.

    Die afgelope Saterdag het slegs twee punte die twee opwindende spanne geskei en die tafel gedek vir ‘n nóg ‘n titaniese stryd indien die twee mekaar weer in die uitkloprondes ontmoet.

    Die Trekkers het Saterdag alles op die veld gelos en met slegs drie minute oor het hulle nog met ‘n 24-19 voorgeloop. Dit was toe die Gimmie-flank, Rylen Kirsten, soos ‘n wafferse vleuel langs die kantlyn af genael en vir Terence Tsolo uitgegee het om oor te duik vir die gelykmakende drie.

    Ronaldo Kiewiet het doodkalm verdoel om die oorwinning te beklink. Kiewiet het ‘n beduidende rol in die spogsege gespeel met ‘n drie van sy eie en drie doelskoppe.

    Christiaan van der Sandt, die lewendige klein skrumskakel van Bethlehem, het die eerste punte aangeteken met ‘n strafdoel na 10 minute, waarna haker, Kananelo Tutubala, vir die Gimmies laat voorloop het met die eerste drie van die wedstryd.

    Kamohelo Moses het egter geantwoord met die Trekkers se eerste drie, en daarna moes die span van Welkom vir grootste gedeelte van die kragmeting inhaalrugby speel. Moses het verlede jaar in altwee hul wedstryde in Welkom ook daarin geslaag om die Gimmie verdediging oop te sluit.

    Nog ‘n drie deur buitesenter, Frederik Fourie, het aan die tuisspan ‘n taamlike buffer verskaf, maar die besoekers het nietemin goed gevaar om binne trefafstand te bly. Met 20 minute se speeltyd oor het Welkom vir ‘n oomblik weer die voortou geneem, maar Kaneng Komane, nog ‘n speler wat verlede jaar reeds teen Welkom Gim bresse in die verdediging kon slaan, het weer gedruk om sy span voor te plaas met slegs sewe minute oor.

    Die tuisspan se pak het voorlangs uiters hard gewerk, met haker, Arnold Ras, en die groot stut, Cecil Parsons, wat meer as hul deel bygedra het. Hulle het egter ‘n paar gulde geleenthede deur die vingers laat glip, terwyl die Welkom-seuns hul kanse aangegryp het vir ‘n waardevolle wen voor die Absa Wildeklawer-toernooi in Kimberley.

    Gimmies kom Donderdag teen HTS Drostdy te staan, en Saterdag toets hulle hulself teen Framesby.

    Intussen het Hoërskool Trio vir Goudveld met 21-5 verslaan na ‘n klipharde stryd in Welkom. Losskakel, Byron Bienas, het weer puik vertoon en 11 van sy span se punte aangeteken.
