KZN10 Hockey Match Report – Kearsney College vs Maritzburg College
Clear communication lines can make it or break it. https://www.cellc.co.za/ The Power is in Your Hands.
On a damp morning Kearsney College hosted Maritzburg College at the Masons Astro. Both teams have played quality hockey in patches this season so it was all set up for a great clash.
Kearsney immediately went onto the attack and spent most of the 1st and 2nd chukkas camped in the Maritzburg College half. It was down to two things, primarily, that stopped Maritzburg from gaining any rhythm: (i) Maritzburg conceding turnovers and (ii) some aggressive, tough-as-nails play from Ronan Farquarson and Jacques Minnaar of Kearsney.
Martizburg spent most of the 1st half on the back foot and Kearsney, relishing the unusual tentativeness of the Maritzburg lads, applied enormous pressure. The first opportunity came when an aggressive run by David Hudson opened up space for Campbell Duckworth to shoot – just wide. The signs were there that Kearsney would, sooner or later, make the breakthrough.
With all the sustained pressure it seemed just a matter of time till Kearsney would earn its first penalty corner. The PC set-up didn’t flow fluidly but enough room was created for James Maguire to fire past the right post.

It was from another College turnover that the first goal of the match was scored… a neat interchange between Duckworth and Farquarson opened up a passing lane to Maguire who, with just enough space, punched the ball into the bottom-left corner from top of the D.
A fitting reward for Kearsney, who had bossed proceedings up to this point.
Maritzburg were reduced to trying to catch Kearsney on the counter-attack but livewire Minnaar was an absolute pest, as his relentless workrate stifled much of Maritzburg’s attacking play.
His over-zealousness did earn him a green in the last moments of the half but the nuggety midfielder had certainly played his part in helping Kearsney dominate the 1st half.

The 2nd half was a complete reversal of the first and now it was College’s turn to spend large portions of the 3rd and 4th chukkas pressuring the Kearsney goal.
There was a sense of urgency about the College play which was surprisingly absent in the 1st half. Bruyns was tireless in running into space as he dragged the Kearsney defenders to and fro across the field. The passing was crisp and the movement decisive as Mthalane and Ngcobo probed down the left-hand side.
As Minnaar and Farquarson had done for Kearsney in the 1st half, it was now Maritzburg’s Prinsloo who entered centre stage in the midfield battles. It was a direct result of his energy and drive that Martizburg were awarded a penalty corner.
Martizburg’s timing was also off and In the ensuing scramble Kearsney were adjudged to have deliberately hit down on a Maritzburg stick and a penalty flick was awarded. Up stepped captain Pio for Maritzburg and he coolly tucked the flick away in the top-right corner.

Play continued with the scores locked at 1-1 until deep into the 4th chukka… and there perhaps came the defining point in the fixture. Prinsloo, who had been so influential in controlling the midfield for Martizburg, received a green card and was sent off the field. With the space now afforded to him, it was that man Farquarson (featured image. Photo Credit – Kearsney College) who took matters into his own hands – and it was after one of his telling drives and resultant pass to Maguire that Maritzburg conceded a short corner with a slender, but sufficiently meaty, 90 seconds left on the clock.
The penalty corner wasn’t the smoothest you will ever see, but there was just enough variation to give Chase Kelly time and space to smash the ball into the bottom-right corner, much to the delight of the Kearsney players and fans. It was now 2-1 to Kearsney with but a handful of seconds left.
The resultant Maritzburg possession didn’t amount to much, and the final whistle duly sounded. The jubilation of the Kearsney players at the whistle reflected just how much they wanted this – and what it means to topple the Red Army’s hard-earned reputation gained over the decades as one of the most potent forces in South African schools hockey.
And full credit must go the way of the Kearsney lads for the manner and forethought with which they went about their task.

Kearsney vs Maritzburg College goes the distance
Maritzburg College took 69-and-a-half minutes to take the lead on Saturday in an epic encounter with Kearsney College on Stott field.
With the mist and drizzle coming in waves it was weather best suited for a warm fire, a good book and a liberal supply of Gluhwein. But there we all were, riveted to our seats as we watched the spectacle unfold in front of us.
Like heavyweight boxing contests of old, this contest went the distance with neither team giving an inch. That there was a winner and a loser is secondary to the spectacle, as Kearsney and College laid into each other with a single-minded ferocity of purpose.
To experience is everything.
Kearsney started like a house on fire as their forwards ploughed into the College defensive lines. With the hosts’ pressure soon telling, Maritzburg were caught offsides in the midfield and the referee awarded a penalty.
In a sign of intent, Kearsney elected for the lineout option. The resultant maul was sacked illegally and Kearsney again turned down the 3 points to go for 5.
In a mis-timing the throw missed its man, something which happened fairly often to both hookers during through the course of the afternoon. The ball sailed over the lineout, only to be bravely snapped up by Matthew Hind as the Maritzburg defenders descended on him.
The ball was moved to the left of the uprights as the Kearsney pack pounded on the line. In a smart move the Kearsney backline – seeing space on the right – wrapped around and Maritzburg were a bit slow to react.
The ball was quickly passed and fell into the hands of burly fullback Derick Marshall, who crashed over in what was the 4th minute of the match. The conversion was missed but Kearsney (5-0) had every right to feel good about their solid start.
Kearsney College fullback Derick Marshall scores the hosts’ first try.
That would be the last bit of scoring for the next 40 minutes as the sides battled for territory in the slippery conditions.
Fullback Marshall, often standing at first receiver, would drive Maritzburg back with his siege-gun boot. Even though he was kicking into a slight breeze, Marshall was steering Kearsney into comfortable areas of the field.

Maritzburg had opportunities to set up driving mauls in the Kearsney 22, only for Tyson Andrew or Aaron Smith to make telling steals in the lineout. When Maritzburg would hit their man, they would invariably make many metres with their rolling maul.
The anticipated match-up between Connor de Bruyn of Kearsney and Philani Simamane of Maritzburg started off on a crashing note.
A scrum to College deep in the Kearsney 22 saw the boys in Red Black and White run a backline move. On the ensuing play, Simamane was hit hard in a crunching tackle as he received man and ball. That he got up after such a brutal hit is a testament to his bravery but also that Wilson and De Bruyn had clearly laid down a marker… there would be nothing easy on this day.
Marshall contributed in most of the telling plays and it was after one of his barnstorming runs that College were penalised for being offside. Carmody elected to kick for the posts from the Maritzburg 10-metre line, but the shot at goal didn’t yield points.
In a play that epitomised what this Maritzburg team is all about, they fielded the kick and set off on a counter-attack.
Maritzburg, believing they had spotted a smidgeon of space on Kearsney’s right flank, set off and in trying a tricky offload knocked the ball on – handing Kearsney the best field position since the opening minutes of the match.
Scrum to Kearsney 5 metres from the Maritzburg line, and from that scrum Kearsney spun the ball wide, only to be stopped by some resolute defence.
Maritzburg stole the ball and Simemane, seeing a bit of space, set off from his own goal. He darted and weaved all the way to the Kearsney 22-metre line and in the ensuing ruck Carmody suffered a shoulder injury. The big front-ranker bravely shrugged it off but was still quite clearly in pain.
In the resulting scrum a penalty was awarded to Maritzburg – which was a consequence of Kearsney collapsing the scrum.

With time running out, Maritzburg captain Kekana opted to kick for posts. The kick was missed and Kearsney purposefully worked a good angle for Marshall, whose boot had been the differentiator up to this point.
But in the tough conditions the attempted touch-kick slices off his boot, going directly out and giving Maritzburg a lineout deep inside Kearsneys 22 with just 1 minute left in this gripping first half.
Maritzburg were desperate to get something before the halftime whistle and Nzimande – seeing Kearsney lying a little flat – tried to put a little chip-kick in the air for centre Kekana to go after.
However, the greasy ball agonisingly slipped from his hands as he crashed over the tryline under a pile of Kearsney bodies. With that, the ref blews his whistle with the score being 5-0 to Kearsney at the changeover.
The conditions had not been conducive to running rugby.
In time-honoured KZN10 schoolboy tradition, both sides tried to play attractive, running rugby – and this is what makes schoolboy rugby so special – but the conditions made handling of the ball a lottery.
The second half started with Kearsney electing to kick for territory. A Maritzburg error led to a penalty being awarded to Kearsney right in front in the poles.
The option chosen was to go for a lineout but the execution was found wanting and Maritzburg benefited from a scrum feed inside their 22.
Kearsney, realising that they had let a golden opportunity get away, put on a huge shove and earned a tight-head for their efforts. Maritzburg, out of defensive alignment, left space on the outside and De Bruyn broke free from a tackle to score.
Carmichael made no mistake with the conversion and the score read a handy 12-0 to Kearsney with what remained a daunting 25 minutes still to play.
Connor de Bruyn beats the Maritzburg College cover to score.
We will never know what was said under the College poles as Kekana spoke to his men, but whatever it was it did the trick, as straight from the kick-off College were immediately on the attack.
After a number of pick-and-goes, Maritzburg tighthead prop Matsheke went over under the poles; Trodd converted to make the score 12-7 still in the home side’s favour with 22 minutes to play.
It was now a completely different match – and the play during the last 20 minutes was breathtaking, as the action moved up and down Stott Field; Maritzburg and Kearsney taking turns in throwing haymakers at each other in seeing who could land the decisive blow.
First Maritzburg would make inroads and then Kearsney; and back and forth we went – But 5 minutes from time the territory battle seemed to go Maritzburg’s way.
Clear communication lines can make it or break it. https://www.cellc.co.za/ The Power is in Your Hands.
From a scrum on their 10-metre Marshall cleared with another of his booming kicks, and despite the conditions the ball just rolled and rolled and agonisingly for Kearsney it went over the Maritzburg deadball line.
Play was brought back all the way to the Kearsney 10-metre line with a Maritzburg feed at the scrum.
The Maritzburg and Kearsney supporters were now starting to get off their feet, it was edgy, heart-in-the-throat stuff as the anticipation built.
As is custom, Maritzburg College scumhalf Trodd made the feed and picked up from the of base of the scrum before darting down the blind side – making great metres before an errant pass handed possession back to Kearsney.
4 minutes left… and Maritzburg again had the ball in Kearsney territory, but a knock-on ensued… Could this be the breathing space the Kearsney first XV needed to get out of their half and stay in front until whistle-end of this see-saw encounter?
3 minutes left… and a solid scrum from Kearsney gave Marshall ample time to do just that. The lad with the booming boot made a solid connection with the ball but it was tough to watch as this vital and valuable cog in the Kearsney College offence and defence was forced to look on anxiously as the ball flew directly out into touch on the halfway line.

The ref called play back, as the ball had been passed back into the 22-metre; heartbreak for for the fine player that is Marshall and this spirited Kearsney first XV.
2 minutes left… and a Maritzburg College line out… the Red Black and White set up a rolling maul…
The Maritzburg College eight rumbled up in effective fashion towards the Kearsney tryline but the efficient maul was by the bravest defence.
The big questions were: which team could maintain its discipline, which team could maintain its composure?
It now becomes a contest of sheer will as every centimetre gained or lost could be seen as a minor victory on the journey to victory or defeat.

What followed was wave after wave of Maritzburg College attacks and… finally… the Kearsney wall breaks… and it’s diminutive flanker Dlangalala who sneaks in next to the ruck to score.
The scores were now 12-12 with the conversion kick to come.
With 1 minute left, up steps the trusty Trodd, who lines up the kick of about 30 metres on the angle and puts the shot at goal straight down the middle – Game over and 14-12 to Maritzburg College as the ref blows the final whistle.
What a match… and credit must go to both teams for the spirit in which this gripping contest was played. It was tough, uncompromising and honest – a great advert for all that’s good about schoolboy sport.
The heartiest of “well done(s)” to both Kearsney and Maritzburg College.
Next up on the KZN10.com winter sports menu are two intriguing match-ups where the quartet of teams have contrasting points to prove – rediscover the winner’s enclosure or maintain the momentum from Super Saturday 4 May.

Northwood vs Hilton College match Report 27 April
Hilton College beat hosts Northwood 31-15 on a picture perfect day in Durban
Saturday 27 April was a type of day that’s made Durban famous, clear blue skies and an even bluer ocean and a slight South Westerly to keep the temperature down. With the Indian ocean as a breathtaking backdrop, Northwood school hosted Hilton College from the Natal Midlands in an epic inter schools match.
Northwood came into the fixture quietly confident after a successful Easter festival. A late change on Friday though saw influential pivot Juan-Pierre du Preez ruled out because of a stomach bug. In the resultant reshuffle, fullback Ntokozo Makhaza shifted in to cover at flyhalf.
Hilton College started the brighter of the two teams and with what was to become a trend through the afternoon, made much inroads through their forwards.
After working the ball up to the Northwood line the ball was quickly recycled to Michael Booth who, with some deft footwork, spun through a tackle to score under the poles. Wilmans converted putting the visitors up 7-0 after 5 minutes.
Stung by the early pressure, Northwood launched attacking forays of their own and made their way up to the 22 metre, in their attempt to slow Northwood down the Hilton boys were penalised for being offside. Captain Ndlovu elected to kick at the posts and Makhaza stepped up to slot the penalty to make the scores 7-3 after 15 minutes.
After the ensuing kick-off Northwood got pinned in their own half and this gave the Hilton pack the necessary impetus to start taking matters into their own hands. Wave after wave of ball runners in the midfield pushed the Northwood defence further and further back until they were defending for their lives on the goal line. A special mention must be made to the discipline and technique of the Hilton boys during this passage of play, it was something to behold as they marched purposefully up to the Northwood line.
The Hilton pack were a well oil machined against Northwood. (C) Hilton College
Under the relentless assault on their line Northwood were again caught offside as their midfield scrambled to cover the ever increasing holes in their defence. A shrill blast on the whistle and the referee raised his arm in front of the poles. Northwood thinking that Hilton were going to take the 3 easy points momentarily lost concentration. In a flash SA 7’s player Liteca Nela spotted the Northwood boys out of alignment and taking a quick tap penalty, dived over under the poles. Wilmans Converted to make the scores 14-3. A body blow for Northwood.
Hilton again received the kick-off and after some great tactical kicking from Wilmans saw Hilton pin Northwood in their half again. Hilton College were quite simply on fire at this stage with the cohesion between backs and forwards a marked feature. After another clinical clean out at a ruck, the ball was spun through the hands and as the defence rushed up Nela put a deft dink behind the on rushing defenders. Fullback Thabiso Dlamini, reading the play, showed a great turn of pace to beat the cover defence to score 10 metres for the uprights. Wilmans again converted making it 21-3 to Hilton. Northwood were reeling and not a moment to soon the half-time whistle blew.
It was marked how differently the two teams approached the 1st half of the game. Hilton were quite happy to kick out of hand and on countless occasions moved play 30 metres up field by simply kicking into space and allowing Northwood to run it back. When Hilton did have the ball it seldom passed outside centre preferring rather to keep it close to the forwards.
Northwood on the other hand kicked quite little but instead tried to run the ball at almost every opportunity. Against a team like Hilton you need some variation to keep their defence thinking. There were occasions where Northwood created opportunities to get the ball down the line with an advantage of an overlap or a mismatch. All to often though the ball would either stick too long in the hands when a simple draw and pass would suffice or the ball would be knocked on. Frustrating for players and supporters alike.
Hilton started the 2nd half the same way that they ended the 1st and after receiving the kick-off, worked their way up to the 22 before Northwood were penalised for coming in from the side at ruck time. Captain Armstrong elected to kick for poles and Wilmans obliged to make it 24-3.
Up to this stage Northwood hadn’t had any ball to play with and it was from the resultant kick-off that one could see the change in the Northwood game plan. Where as in the first half they were content to throw the ball around, in the 2nd half they kept the play a lot tighter with the ball seldom going down the line in any expansive back line play.
The strategy immediately paid dividends as Northwood started making inroads into the Hilton defence as the forwards took to their task. They were fierce and fiery in ploughing into the rucks and mauls and ran with purpose and commitment. And it was after Northwoods best passage of play that Hilton were caught offside 5 metres out right in front of the poles. Some quick thinking from Makhaza caught Hilton off guard and the slippery flyhalf dived over to score a try. He converted to make the scores 24-10.
In a almost carbon copy of the first half, Hilton’s forwards again decided to up the tempo and set up a ruck in mid field. Northwood expecting the ball to be taken up close to the ruck, got to narrow in defence and paid for it dearly. The ball was quickly moved left and some slick handling released winger Joshua Cox(Featured image (C)HIlton College).
With nothing between him and the goal line except empty grass the winger pinned his ears back and raced 40 metres down the touchline to score in the corner as the defenders raced to cut him off. Wilmans attempting his most difficult kick of the afternoon lined up the conversion and dissected the up rights from the touchline, 31-10 to Hilton with 14 minutes to play.
A series of penalties pushed Hilton further and further into their half and some smart inter play between the Northwoods backs and forwards forced a line out 5 metres from the Hilton line. The resultant maul was sacked by Hilton but the ball was spun to the back line with Northwood looking like they were about to breach the Hilton defence. Some great work at the breakdown by the Hilton forwards, however, resulted in them stealing the ball and with space spotted on left the ball was again given to Cox to stretch his legs.
In a split second the gap closed and in trying to keep the ball alive a wild pass was thrown which bounced ever so close to the touchline. Mpendu showing great dexterity and skill picked up the ball before it could go out and headed for the try line. As the cross cover defence was about to bundle him in to touch he neatly offloaded to Ndlovu who crashed over to score. Unfortunately Makhaza missed the extras and the score stayed 31-15 to Hilton with 9 minutes to play.
That was the end of the scoring for the day as the action moved between the two 22 metre lines for the remainder of the game. That Northwood won the 2nd half 12-10 is an indicator that the Knights stepped up mightily and showed that the final 31-15 scoreline to Hilton was a little more flattering to the visitors than it should have been.

School Rugby Results 27 April
It was a entertaining weekend for the KZN10, there were a few school rugby results that raised some eyebrows. Michaelhouse seem to have finally clicked in a good win against Westville boys(featured picture-Kwanele Khumalo goes hard. (C) Martin Ashworth). Hilton College quite simply over powered Northwood.

KZN School boy Hockey, match previews for the KZN10 – 27 April
KZN School boy Hockey gets in to full swing
With the holidays over its time for KZN School boy hockey enthusiasts to get ready for the ding dong battles that lie ahead as the KZN10 schools battle for supremacy.
With the rather disjointed nature of the holidays this year between the government and private schools there hasn’t been any sense of continuity in the interschools competition. It has felt at times that the 2 nd term sports journey just couldn’t get going.
Don’t get me wrong playing in hockey festivals is an awesome opportunity to compete against the very best and experience different hockey styles and people. But, there is just something different about playing a full school fixture on Saturday morning, getting in the buses or meeting with your team at the home ground with everyone keyed in on wining for their school. The stands filled with mates giving you vociferous and vocal support and the sense of pride that it evokes in those that are playing, creates memories that last a life time.
On the the to the match previews
Northwood Vs Hilton College
Venue: Northwood
Northwood have a good team this year and as a unit have played a whopping 21 matches together including their Malaysia tour. They started the season a bit out of sinc against Maritzburg College but have steadily got better and better as the season has progressed. Since coming back from Malaysia they have an impressive tally played 11 won 10 lost 1. The match that they did lose was against a top 10 Grey College 1st team at the KES festival but apart from that they have been a dominant unit.
Hilton College though seem to be one of the form teams in KZN whose only loss this season came at the Nomads Festival against table topping Grey high school from Port Elizabeth. They are also coming off a good St Stithians festival where they left unbeaten after the weekends matches.
At U16 level Hilton should hold the advantage as they are undefeated and ranked no 1 in the country at the moment. This impressive squad has scored 44 goals whilst conceding only 7 with an average win of 5-1.
Northwood may lack the discipline and trust to compete for a whole match with Hilton once fatigue sets in but since coming back from their Malaysia tour they have yet to lose. So its set up for Northwood to keep the game tight and leave everything out on the pitch.
At U14 Level it could go either way, Northwood drew to against Maritzburg College and DHS earlier in the season and both of which have solid squads. I get the sense that Hilton U14’s are just a little stronger even though they have lost to DHS 2-4 earlier in the season. But based upon their results at the Nomads festival they seem to have a slight advantage.
Clifton College Vs St Andrews School (Bloemfontein)
Venue: St Andrews School
Clifton are continuing to grow into a well polished, competent side and should dominate against St Andrews. After early season struggles in a loss to Michaelhouse and a tough outing at the Nomads festival the 1st side seems to have turned the corner with an impressive run of results.
The amount of matches played over the holidays has done this team a world of good and they are now playing with a high level of fluidity and confidence. Played 11 with 9 wins and 2 draws is the stat line over this period with great victories against Pretoria Boys and St Albans included.
The U16’s should also be to good for their St Andrews counterparts.
The encouraging signs though lie at the base of the Clifton College hockey tree as the next crop of great players push to come through. Its the U14’s who are really making waves at Clifton and should get everyone excited about Clifton hockey for years to come. Played 13 won 13 is the stat line and in the process scoring 90 goals for and only 2 against. Amongst their wins are a 4-0 drubbing of Western Cape hockey giant Bishops. Truly phenomenal play from this group and I expect it to continue this weekend.
Michaelhouse Vs Westville
Venue: Michaelhouse
Michaelhouse is also another team thats lacking a bit of consistency at the moment. They have just returned from the Eastern Cape after competed in the Hibbert Cup Hockey tournament held at Grey High School over Easter. The competition was stiff with the likes Grey High School, Paul Roos and Bishops all at the tournament. They were on the end of some big scores but ended up coming a credible 4th place.
Westville have cemented themselves as a top tier hockey program and their undefeated record bears testament to the hard work that has been put in. Before the Easter break they had a great win against Jeppe and then topped it off by dealing with the other joburg hockey elites KES and St johns College at the KES Hockey festival. Westville should have enough to leave Michaelhouse with a victory.
Westville U16’s have only lost one match the whole season and deservedly sit at number three in the national rankings. Michaelhouse, who hosted their own U16 ISHF showed nice touches in winning 5 from 5. The edge again lies with Westville
The U14’s from Michaelhouse and Westvilles have already played each other at the Westville U14 A Festival. The result was pretty emphatic with Westville winning 5~1, but Michaelhouse are at home this time so the tables could be turned.
Kearsney Vs DHS
Venue: Kearsney
Its difficult to put your finger on this Kearsney College side. After a solid start where they drew to Hilton College and St Charles College they then played some sublime hockey at the Northwood Founders festival. In compiling a 6 from 6 record it seemed that they were ready to lay down a marker as one of the teams to beat in the province(headline picture(C) Kearsney College). They then had a ordinary KES festival compared to the dizzying heights reached at the Northwood Founders but still showed nice form. They should be to much for this DHS side as a previous meeting early in the season resulted in a 9-1 win for Kearsney.
In the U16’s Kearsney should be to strong for DHS.
Its in the U14 age group where we may see some fireworks as this current U14 squad at DHS is a competent unit with only one loss this season to their name. DHS Director of Hockey Michael Baker can be proud of the work that he and his team have done in getting this group into the system. Wins against Hilton College and Westville show the quality of this years players and on balance should win against Kearsney.
St Charles College Vs Maritzburg College
Venue: St Charles College
As a 1st side St Charles College has played little compared to some other KZN10 schools so it remains to be seen how they will fair against a battle hardened Maritzburg College team.
St Charles College come into this fixture having lost only 1 game to Bishops so Matthew Coombes certainly has his men organised and playing with great pride. This should be available in bucket loads as this will be their first game on their new Astro and the boys from Harwin rd should be in full voice.
College’s season has not been a vintage one by any stretch but they do have the ability to turn on the style as they did in their last game against St Sthithians were they mauled the hosts 6-1. They have been a little inconsistent this year due to possibly inexperience in key areas of the field but are still a formidable unit.
At U16 Level College is ranked 2nd in the country and should be good enough to win.
For Saints the U14 match will give an indication as to just how good this team is. Undefeated thus far after 5 matches at the U15 ISHF they will surely be tested as to what quality they have. The College U14’s started off slowly with 3 losses early in the season at the Nomads Festival, they then followed that up with a couple of draws and could possibly have turned the corner with a 2-1 win over Pretoria Boys before the Easter break. Its sure to be a close match.

The 2nd term is officially open for all schools and that means that KZN School boy Rugby kicks off in earnest. KZN10 schools are all in action bar the Glenwood 1 st side who take a well deserved break after 10 matches.
Match Previews
Northwood Vs Hilton College
Venue: Northwood
An intriguing match as two of the highest ranked KZN schools, Northwood and Hilton College do battle. This could go either way as this Northwood side is well balanced and brimming with confidence.
Northwood may have the edge in the backs as dynamic runners Ntokozo Makhaza and Salizwa Mlenzana stretch their legs. Any Hilton side Coached by Brad MacLeod-Henderson though will be well organised defensively.
Hilton suffered its first loss in almost 2 years at the Kingswood 125th Rugby Festival to a classy St Andrews College. Fatigue may have played a factor here as the Hilton lads had played 8 bruising matches in little over a month. Thats tough going at any level let alone schoolboys. Hilton should be well rested for this though as they did not participate in any of the Easter festivals so they will be fresh and hungry.
It will be fascinating to see how these two schools approach each other. Hiltons game plan is not to complicated, built upon trucking it up through the forwards and trying to get over the advantage line via the likes of Christopher D’Oliveira and Leftheri Zigiriadis. Narrowing the defence and then exploiting the spaces on the edge. Simple stuff, but executed with a great discipline.
It will be interesting in this regard if Hilton can create enough go forward ball as the Northwood pack stands back for no one especially when spearheaded by Vernon Matongo.
The age group matches should be something to keep an eye on. Last years U14A teams for both schools were undefeated with Northwood ending up 2nd in the national rankings to Hilton Colleges 3rd. For the school boy rugby enthusiast this years U15A match has the potential to be a huge clash. Northwood have lost some of the boys from their great side last year to other schools and may not have the depth of last year but they are still a formidable outfit losing narrowly to rugby powerhouses Selborne College and Maritzburg College.
The Northwood U15A team after their come from behind, 36-35 win against KES.(C)Northwood
Hiltons U16A is a quality side so should win along with Hiltons U14 age group
Clifton College Vs St Andrews School (Bloemfontein)
Venue: St Andrews School
Clifton College have a decent side this year and have had a few tough games to build up for St Andrews. Clilfton, who have been knocking hard on the door of top tier rugby, will go into this clash as favourites.
St Andrews took part in the Easter festival at Penryn College over the weekend and should be ready for a rested Clifton College team. Altitude could play a factor and it remains to be seen how the coaches aproach this.
Clifton should have the edge in all the age group games as they showed great early season form against Michaelhouse
Michaehouse Vs Westville
Venue: Michaelhouse
Michaelhouse host Westville in the Balgowan valley at the stunning venue of Meadows (Picture insert) which could be a great game. Westville put on dominating display against Jeppe and carried it over to the KES Easter Festival where in winning their two games they scored 84 points to a paltry 12 against whilst walking away with 2 impressive victories.
Michaelhouse will struggle with the Westvilles pack of forwards who are skilful and mobile. Mercurial flyhalf Luc Pousson will again be tasked with igniting the Michaelhouse faithful with his electrifying runs and out of the box play making.
Could Luc Pousson be the key to unlocking Westvilles defense?(C)Martin Ashworth
The matches in the age groups could also be worth a look as both the Michaelhouse and Westville U16A’s had great wins at the Jeppe On Target U16 festival. Both schools won all their matches with the common foe being Pretoria Boys which ran both teams close.
Westvile U16A Vs Pretoria Boys U16A 19:8
Michaelhouse U16A Vs Pretoria Boys U16A 14:9
To tight to call! Possibly go with home ground advantage.
The Michaelhouse U14 A’s should be to strong for Westville at home whilst the U15’s will evenly matched.
Kearsney Vs DHS
Venue: Kearsney College
Both teams are coming off a string of losses at the Kearsney Festival. For Kearsney its seems that they have lost a bit of confidence after their trip to the Kingswood festival after tight losses to Makhanda(Grahamstown) privates Kingswood and St Andrews.
Kearsney showed great character against a good Framesby team but ultimately ran out of time to win the match. Possibly with a little self belief they can get the results going their way.
DHS have also been on the wrong end of results for some of their games, but not through lack of effort. They showed against Westville earlier in the season that they can create opportunities out of nothing.
In the age groups DHS’ U14’s should be good enough as both schools have played Hilton College with the horseflies U14’s narrowly losing to Hilton.
The U15’s wil be tight but the U16’s from Kearsney should be to good.
St Charles College Vs Maritzburg College
Venue: St Charles College
Could be a difficult day for St Charles College as they host Maritzburg College. The hosts had a solid showing at the St Johns College rugby festival whilst College seemed to have turned the corner with 2 convincing displays at the St Sthithians. For St Charles to compete they are going to have compete with College in the engine room of the game. It will be imperative that the boys from Harwin Road stand strong and not let themselves be bullied in the tigh lose and contact points.
For Maritzburg College the experiment of playing Philanni Simemane at inside centre has been shelved as he has moved to outside centre to let Captain Siphe Kekane link with flyhalf partner Anele Nzimande. Nzimande had a great St Stithians festival scoring 4 tries and seems to have the flair needed to keep school boy rugby defences honest.
There is slight edge to this Maritzburg College team as the early season losses would have stung and possibly inspired them to play with a bit of a chip on their shoulders to prove something.
If they can maintain their concentration and intensity they should win.
College should have the edge in the age groups with their unbeaten U15 age group leading the way.
Thats all for now, till next time,
