\"Jeppe
Jeppe will contest the u17 competition only, but they’re an interesting team. Their 1st XV had no trouble scoring points in 2024. Will that transfer to Sevens? Photo: Jeppe High School for Boys on Facebook<\/a><\/strong>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Monument <\/strong>hosts a smaller but high-quality High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota<\/strong>, event on Saturday in Krugersdorp.<\/p>\n

The u17 and u15 competitions feature only 10 teams each, but there are some established rugby powers among them.<\/p>\n

Monument, the hosts, are among the potential title contenders, as is Helpmekaar<\/strong>, who made the Cup semi-finals of the Heidelberg Sevens<\/a><\/strong> this past weekend.<\/p>\n

Jeppe<\/strong>, who it should be remembered beat Monnas at Monument<\/a> <\/strong>when the teams met in the 15-man game this season, will be a team to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

Noordheuwel<\/strong> has an Invitation side in action, so they’re a bit of an unknown.<\/p>\n

Dinamika<\/strong> narrowly lost 17-19 to the eventual runners-up, Noordheuwel, in the playoffs at the Heidelberg Sevens, and beat Helpmekaar 26-24, so they should not be underestimated.<\/p>\n

Noordheuwel has two teams in the u15 competition and their A side cruised to the u15 title in Heidelberg. Their Krugersdorp rivals, Monument, would love nothing more than to prevent Noordheuwel from making it two in a row.<\/p>\n

Marais Viljoen<\/strong>, the winners of the Pionier Sevens<\/a><\/strong> title, finished as the runners-up in the Plate in Heidelberg. Dinamika, again, could play the role of spoiler, and the Garsfontein<\/strong> Invitation side is another team that could pull off an upset or two.<\/p>\n
