Hudson Park of East Londen kicked off the King Edward VII Easter Festival with a convincing 53-10 victory over Hentie Cilliers of Virginia in the opening match of the tournament. The team from East London’s flyhalf, Keenan Mundean, scored a hat-trick of tries and also converted four of his side’s nine tries for a personal tally of 23 points. 

Both Hudson Park’s winger, Siba Mbinda and Sirri Ntsibantu, completed a brace of tries. Centre, Oyisa Hakula, scored the other two tries. The forwards was however the heroes in the match as they provided the platform from which Hudson Park build their victory.

This year’s St. John’s College Easter Festival sponsored by Standard Bank will see some of the countries top school rugby sides clash. 

Paul Roos Gimnasium of Stellenbosch, Garsfontein of Pretoria, Paarl Boys’ High and Monument of Krugerdorp will all be in action in the City of gold. These four teams will all most likely count in the Top 10 school rugby sides of South Africa. 

Viadana from Italy gives some international flavour. They will face Paul Roos, the Golden Lions XV and St. Charles College in their three mathes. The top clash of the Easter Festival will take place on Saturday between Paarl Boys’ High and Monument. Monnas will return from touring Ireland just in time to take part at the Easter Festival. The clash between Nelspruit’s Rhinos and Garsfontein on the Saturday also promises to produce some fireworks as this is a re-match of last year’s Beeldtrofee final which was won by Nelspruit.

 The hosts St. John’s College will face Paarl Boys’ High, Hilton College and the Golden Lions XV in their three matches. Paul Roos Gimnasium will clash with Monument on Monday in another Clash of the Titans.

The prestigious Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival kicks off this Thursday (2nd) with 12 top South African rugby-playing schools participating.

Locals will be particularly keen to see how three of the top ranked KZN schools – hosts Kearsney, Glenwood and Westville – fare against some of the country’s best.

This is the 8thannual festival hosted by Kearsney and it is now recognised as one of the foremost Easter rugby festivals in the country, with seven of the schools present ranked in the top 20 at the end of 2014. Once again it is expected to offer spectators thrilling match-ups and exciting running rugby that makes this style of the game so popular.

The oldest school in South Africa, SACS from Cape Town, will be in their 152nd year of rugby and will bring the Western Cape flavour, with their first visit to the festival. Although the lowest ranked of the participating schools, they could surprise. The top-ranked side from 2014, Grey College from Bloemfontein, will be a big draw-card as they are always a side that is difficult to beat, due to their skilful running and powerful forward play. They have a particularly heavy pack this year.

Affies and Menlo Park, the latter making their first appearance at the festival, both travel from Pretoria. Although Affies did not make the top 20 last year, they will be a force in the coming months with a very good under 16 side in 2014, five of whom played at the U16 Grant Khomo Week, another two represented the Blue Bulls at Craven Week and one player at the Academy Week.

Three Eastern Cape schools – Selborne from East London, Framesby from Port Elizabeth and Dale from King Williams Town – bring three different styles of rugby, adding to the enjoyment of the week. Selborne has five players in their pack all over 100kgs and this will assist them to give a good supply of ball to their backline. Framesby, a never-say-die side, will play to the last whistle and, with a lighter pack, will likely spread the ball. Dale, with their dynamic back line, can never be discounted and with a heavy front row this year which is likely to get more ball, dynamite could be in the offing.

EG Jansen is a hard, uncompromising XV from the East Rand and sides coming up against them will know they have been in a tough game. They have four players from last year’s Craven Week, including their captain and lock, who is 2.01m and weighs 108kgs. While HTS Middelburg from Mpumalanga may not appear to have as much talent as last year, they will also be a tough side to play against.

Kearsney open the festival playing their first match against Selborne and, although the hosts lost against Noordkaap last Saturday, they have had two good wins locally against Glenwood and Hilton. This should give them plenty of confidence against the tough Border side.

When last did Glenwood lose their first two matches against KZN teams as they have done this year? This will make them determined in their first match against Framesby. Westville will attempt to bounce back after losing to Maritzburg College on Saturday and their match against Menlo Park on Thursday could be a humdinger.

Talent scouts will be present over the duration of the three days, looking for players with flair and ability. The Sharks Academy, as they have done each year, will award bursaries to the value of R100 000 each to three players.

A new aspect this year is outreach initiative ‘Boots & Balls’ which, in conjunction with the KZNRU Development Programme, will equip players from less privileged backgrounds with rugby kit and equipment. Those going to the festival are asked to take new or good-condition second-hand rugby kit and leave them in collection bins adjacent to the main field. All sizes of rugby shorts and jerseys, socks, boots, rugby balls, kit bags and any equipment would be appreciated and contributions will be handed over during the closing ceremony after the final game.

The support by major sponsors Standard Bank, The Sharks Academy, Illovo Sugar and Nashua once again serves to endorse the prestigious status of the festival.

Play days are Thursday 2, Saturday 4 and Monday 6 April, with kick-off at 9.30am each day. A primary schools fixture between Umhlali Prep, Pelham Senior Primary and Highbury against the KZNRU u13 Ibutho Development team will take place at 8.30 each day.

Gate entrance is R50 per vehicle or R20 for pedestrians, which includes a programme with statistics and pen pictures of all the players. Ample secure parking will be available; as well as food and refreshment outlets for those wanting to enjoy a day of entertaining rugby.

Noord-Kaap van Kimberley het die Pukke Skouspel onoorwonne afgesluit danksy ‘n sege van 43-13 oor Transvalia van Vanderbijlpark. Die span van die Diamantstad se vleuel, Cameron Hufke, en agtsteman, Gerhard Holtzhausen, het elk twee keer agter Transvalia se doellyn gaan kuier. 

Kearsney College se flank, Tristan Dixon, is waarskynlik die beste voorspeler wat op vanjaar se toernooi in aksie is. Hy is welverdiend as speler van die wedstryd in sy span se sege van 41-10 oor Hoërskool Klerksdorp aangewys. 

Dixon het verlede jaar vir KwaZulu-Natal op slot tydens die Cravenweek in Middelburg (Mpumalanga) uitgedraf. Die kantman het gewis sy tweestryd met verlede jaar se SA Skole-flank, Edmund Rheeder, gewen. 

Die span se binnesenter, James Tedder, het agterlangs rigting verskaf. Hy moes egter weens ‘n seer heup vroeg in die eerste helfte die veld verlaat. Klerksdorp se senter, Michael Steinberg, het ‘n stewige vertoning gelewer.

Potchefstroom Gimnasium se twee slotte, Gideon Botha en Marco van den Berg, het baljaar in hulle span se oortuigende sege van 60-13 teen Hoërskool Florida. Botha is as speler van die wedstryd aangewys, met Van den Berg wat twee keer Florries se doellyn oorgesteek het. 

Gimmies se losskakel, Casper Dreyer, het 20 van sy span se punte via ‘n drie, ses doelskoppe en ‘n strafdoel aangeteken. Die span van Potchefstroom se kaptein en agtsteman, Gerhard Steenekamp, het soos gewoontlik met sy kraglopies sy span se teenstanders probleme besorg.
