Bernardo Diedericks<\/strong> from Robertson, were part of the SA u18 Sevens team that earned bronze at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\nGiliomee slots in at flyhalf for Charlies, while Diedericks might make an appearance off the bench for Robertson.<\/p>\n
When these two teams met last year in Robertson, the Charlies had to grind out a 35-34 victory, after Robertson clawed their way back from 28-5 down at halftime.<\/p>\n
This match promises to be one of the highlights of the weekend, as both teams have been playing some really exciting rugby this season.<\/p>\n
Robertson has had two of their games cancelled after the winter break but showed no signs of rust as they beat Langenhoven Gimnasium 26-12 last weekend.<\/p>\n
After a flying start to the season, Charlie Hofmeyr has experienced two losses recently against Montagu (21-17) and Worcester Gimnasium (22-12), and they will be desperate to end their season on a high.<\/p>\n
The home team’s winger, Lawrence Jantjies<\/strong>, has been a pillar for his team in Giliomee’s absence. If they can combine well this weekend they can ask a lot of questions of the Robertson defence.<\/p>\nFor Robertson, their lively centre, S\u00e9an-Douglas Cedras<\/strong> and his lightning-quick winger, Mullan Burger<\/strong>, are two of the dangermen to keep an eye on Saturday.<\/p>\nCharlies are without their big lock, Le Roux Groenewald<\/strong>, and flanker, Tyrone Davids<\/strong>, who are both still recovering from injuries obtained during the season.<\/p>\nPorterville<\/strong> also hosts Piketeberg<\/strong> for their big inter-schools clash this weekend.<\/p>\nPorterville has been one of the standouts in the Boland this year and contributed five players to the Boland Craven Week team that competed in George earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
Brendon September<\/strong> (winger), Callum van Staden<\/strong> (scrumhalf), Jandro Phutego<\/strong> (flanker), Ricky Lesch<\/strong> (hooker) and RW Duggan<\/strong> (prop) from Porterville were all selected for the provincial team.<\/p>\nVan Staden is not available for Saturday’s match, but the rest will all be on their posts to try to end their season on a high.<\/p>\n
Their challengers are no pushovers though. Piketberg has been playing an exciting brand of rugby all season, spearheaded by the efforts of their evasive centre, Gelermore Baron<\/strong> and his dynamic flyhalf, Altino Pedro<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWorcester Gimnasium<\/strong> will want to draw a line under what has been a very successful season with a strong performance when they visit Hermanus<\/strong>.<\/p>\nApart from beating most of their local rivals this year, including keeping Charlie Hofmeyr tryless as they handed them a 22-12 defeat in their own backyard, the Gimmies also pulled off a very impressive victory against a highly ranked Durban High School earlier in the season by 36-31 at the annual Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival.<\/p>\n
Players like Jovawn Visagie<\/strong> (fullback) and Hope Dliso<\/strong> (winger) have been electric in a bit of space, while Noah Pietersen<\/strong> (prop) and his mates up front have been providing opportunities with their hard work.<\/p>\nWhen these two teams met last year in Worcester, Gimmies were the victors by 13-10, they will be looking to back that performance up this weekend to draw their season to a close.<\/p>\n
Swartland<\/strong> and Hugenote<\/strong> will take each other on for the 47th time as they bring their seasons to a close with a festive finale in Malmesbury<\/p>\nThe Faure Stadium in Paarl will be packed for the third consecutive weekend when Paulus Joubert<\/strong> and Noorder-Paarl<\/strong> conclude their seasons with a big inter-school clash this weekend.<\/p>\nTo the East, in Oudtshoorn, Langenhoven Gimnasium<\/strong> and Ho\u00ebrskool Punt<\/strong> are competing in their big derby for a chance to end the season on a high.<\/p>\nLast year, Punt took the spoils with a 10-0 victory, so the Gimmies will be anxious to set the record straight this year.<\/p>\n
Despite having a mixed season, Ho\u00ebrskool Punt showed their steel recently with a big 24-18 victory against Daniel Pienaar from Uitenhage.<\/p>\n

As the rugby season draws to a close in the Western Cape, this weekend sees a number of big derbies bring an end to another exciting year of schoolboy rugby.<\/p>\n
