The KwaZulu-Natal rugby season concluded on 9 August, with Durban High School (DHS) overpowering King Edward VII (KES)<\/strong><\/a>, and Glenwood<\/strong> coming up just short against Maritzburg College<\/strong>. On Saturday, though, it was back to the south of Durban for the Glenwood Sevens<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hosts’ cross-city neighbours, Northwood<\/strong>, scored a stirring 19-17 victory over Westville Boys’ High<\/strong> in the u17 final, while DHS dominated the u15 competition, culminating in a 33-12 victory over Maritzburg College in the final.<\/p>\n

In a key early u17 game, Northwood edged out Michaelhouse<\/strong> 17-14 in Group A. Both ran riot against the Midlands Marauders<\/strong>, which left Northwood top of the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

DHS ruled Group B, beating Hilton College<\/strong> 19-13 before overrunning Westville 2<\/strong> 56-0.<\/p>\n

The home team, Glenwood, topped Pool C, downing Maritzburg College 42-24 in a high-scoring opener before handing Michaelhouse 2 a 31-5 loss.<\/p>\n

Westville took the honours in Pool D, where they faced Glenwood 2 and Northwood 2. Given the fact that they were up against two second-string <\/span>lineups<\/span>, it was no surprise that the Griffin<\/strong> <\/em>scored convincing victories in both of those games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northwood accounted for Hilton in the Cup quarterfinals, winning 31-21, while Glenwood had no trouble cruising to a 27-0 win over Northwood 2. There was a mild shock, however, when Michaelhouse won 22-12 against DHS. Westville nailed down the fourth semi-final spot, blanking Maritzburg College 22-0.<\/p>\n

Northwood’s adventure continued when they held off Michaelhouse in the final four, winning 21-15, while Westville was too much for Glenwood, triumphing 34-12. Northwood, though, had the answers to Westville’s challenge in the title game.<\/p>\n

Hilton lifted the Plate<\/strong>, beating Maritzburg College 20-14 in the final, while Michaelhouse 2 romped to a 38-5 win over Westville 2 in the Bowl<\/strong> final.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the u15 competition, Pool A was decided on points’ difference after Michaelhouse and Glenwood drew 24-24. ‘House, though, beat Northwood 2 33-0, while Glenwood beat the same opposition 31-10, leaving the <\/span>Balgowan<\/span> boys on top of the standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

DHS had far too much heat for Northwood and the Midlands Marauders in Pool B, thumping Northwood 47-0 and the Marauders 71-0.<\/p>\n

Hilton College beat Maritzburg College 22-5 in Pool C’s key contest to secure first place, while Westville got by St Charles College<\/strong> 28-22 and cruised to a 36-0 win over Michaelhouse 2 in Pool D.<\/span><\/p>\n

Northwood, who were crushed by DHS in their pool game, then shocked Michaelhouse in the Cup quarterfinals, snatching a tight 19-17 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

DHS continued their domination, although they gave up their first points of the day, in a 47-5 defeat of Glenwood.<\/p>\n

Hilton College fought their way to a 19-12 win over St Charles, and Maritzburg College upset Pool D winners, Westville, scoring a 22-7 victory.<\/p>\n

In the Cup semis, DHS was, again, far too much for Northwood in their second meeting of the day, powering their way to a 40-5 win, while Maritzburg College, beaten 22-5 by Hilton at the start of the day, downed Hilton 21-10 in their second meeting to quality for the final.<\/p>\n

Michaelhouse won the Plate, beating Westville 10-0 in a close contest, but Westville 2 took the Bowl, handing Northwood 2 a 24-12 loss.
