Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> reversed their recent history against Grey College<\/strong> in Bloemfontein by edging out the home side 4-3 in a heart-stopping Friday Nite Lights<\/strong> thriller at the Grey College AstroTurf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Boishaai<\/strong> were made to work extremely hard for the win as the hosts displayed a never-say-die attitude, leading to the clash going down to the wire.<\/p>\n

It was the visitors’ first win against the Bloemfontein outfit in well over a decade.<\/p>\n

Both sides were last in action two weeks ago. Boys’ High visited KwaZulu-Natal, where they took part in the Michaelhouse Hockey Tournament<\/a><\/strong> and finished in eighth place, while Grey placed ninth at the Hibbert Shield<\/a><\/strong> in Gqeberha.<\/p>\n

In their previous two meetings, Grey won 3-0 in 2024, before holding off Boishaai 3-2 last season.<\/p>\n

This time around, the script was different from the outset, and the visitors were in the ascendancy in the first half.<\/p>\n

Mijan Herholdt<\/strong> opened the scoring with a breakaway field goal before Jamie Kock<\/strong> slotted a hat-trick, converting three penalty corners to seal the win.<\/p>\n

Grey pushed hard for a late goal in the dying seconds, but Boishaai\u2019s defence held firm.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very proud of the boys,” head coach Rowan McLachlan<\/strong> told SuperSport Schools News<\/a><\/strong>. “It’s the first time we’ve beaten Grey since 2013, so it’s a little rewrite of the history books for us.<\/p>\n

“I must give credit to Grey. They really played well and made us work really hard for every inch on that field. It was a really hard-fought, classic schoolboy derby that went down to the wire.”<\/p>\n

While Boishaai claimed a massive win, Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> (PRG)<\/strong> bolstered its record with two emphatic wins on the weekend.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, coach Michael Baker<\/strong>‘s troops were on another level and turned on the style to thump Somerset College<\/strong> 10-0 at the Maties AstroTurf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Luke van der Merwe<\/strong> netted a hat-trick, while Logan Lackay<\/strong> and Louis Kriel<\/strong> both found the back of the net twice.\u00a0Other goal contributions came from Caleb Cilliers<\/strong>, Ruben Gouws<\/strong>, and Daniel de Waal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, PRG took on Durbanville<\/strong>, and that clash ended in a comfortable 8-1 victory for the Stellenbosch side.<\/p>\n

“We have been playing great hockey but just struggled to score PCs and field goals this year, often not being rewarded for some really good moments,” Baker told SuperSport Schools News<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, this weekend, it was good to score PCs, some really good team goals, and make good decisions in the D. I’m proud of the boys for keeping the standards high.”<\/p>\n

In a pulsating encounter at the Western Province Cricket Club<\/strong>, Rondebosch Boys\u2019 High<\/strong> showed fight and grit to hold the Hibbert Shield champions, SACS<\/strong>, to a 3-3 draw.<\/p>\n

Both sides scored some cracking goals.\u00a0For SACS, their talisman, Litha Kraai<\/strong>, bagged a brace while Josh Goulding<\/strong> scored the other goal.<\/p>\n

Martin Barnard<\/strong>\u00a0delivered a brace for ‘ Bosch<\/strong><\/em> and he was joined on the scoresheet by Jason Warneke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While one pair of the southern suburbs’ teams shared the spoils, Bishops showed class to beat Wynberg Boys\u2019 High 4-0<\/a><\/strong> at the Woodlands AstroTurf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Max Morgan<\/strong> was on target twice while Luc Dicey<\/strong> and Callum Anderson<\/strong> wrapped up the win for coach Ryan Julius<\/strong>\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

While Durbanville took a drubbing from PRG, they also picked up a win, sneaking by Fairmont High<\/strong> 1-0 in a league encounter.<\/p>\n

Stellenberg<\/strong> put four past DF Akademie<\/strong>, while Bellville<\/strong> and Worcester Gimnasium<\/strong> were victorious against Milnerton<\/strong> and Brackenfell<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n
