After six days of entertaining rugby in the 1st XV, 2nd XV, u16, u15, and u14 age groups, the annual Glenwood Rugby Festival came to a close in Durban, on Saturday.
Durban High School (DHS) showed off their strength in depth, with a DHS Invitation XV beating Landboudal 36-17 on Tuesday before holding Transvalia to a 10-10 draw two days later. School‘s 1st XV recently convincingly beat Kingswood College and Selborne College at the Standard Bank Grey High Rugby Festival.
Transvalia also cruised to a 45-9 victory over Vryheid Landbou, while Potchefstroom Volkskool went two for two, overpowering a KZN Select team 55-0 before claiming a hard-fought 18-7 win over Landboudal.
Jim Fouché battled to a 40-26 win over DF Malan and edged out a Glenwood XV 15-13 in their second outing. Glenwood’s 1st XV was involved in a low-scoring tussle against HTS Middelburg but came away with a 7-5 win. HTS Middelburg followed up with a 27-9 defeat of DF Malan and won 31-10 against Landboudal.
In the u14 matches, Glenwood and DHS ruled the roost. The hosts scored 100 points in two wins while conceding only seven, while DHS scored 101 and kept a clean sheet in both victories.
HTS Middelburg claimed two KZN scalps in the u15 age group, beating a Westville Invitation XV 33-22 and Northwood 19-17, but they were swamped by DHS, who roared to a 41-0 win. The Horseflies also handed Jim Fouché a 41-0 loss, and they overran CBC Bulawayo 50-0.
Glenwood was even more ruthless, crushing Jim Fouché 50-0, CBC 54-0, and a KZN Select side 54-0.
In the u16 games, DHS won by 50-0 margins against Jim Fouché, the KZN Select team, and DF Malan while Glenwood trounced DF Malan 45-0, but was made to work harder for a 33-12 victory over Jim Fouché before finishing with a 50-0 victory over DF Malan.
Transvalia was the pick of the 2nd XVs, beating Hilton College 31-14 before thumping Jim Fouché 50-3 and DF Malan 50-0.
