KZN school rugby Clifton College vs St Charles College match report
It appeared evident against hosts Clifton College at Riverside on Saturday that the St Charles College first XV’s experience of playing against KZN powerhouse Glenwood last time out has certainly done them a power of good in terms of confidence and energy.
It was the first time in decades that Saints had faced Glenwood – and reports suggest they gave a good account of themselves on Old Orchards.

And in an entertaining match at Riverside two days ago, the Saints stamped their name on the match very quickly and apart from a late surge by Clifton when the Pietermaritzburg visitors already had an unassailable 30-0 lead, captain and loosehead Jason Robert’s side controlled proceedings.
In taking a look at the game let’s mix and match present- and past-tense, as it unfolded in Jono Cook’s eyes.

“Then follows a great spell of fast attacking rugby that has both sets of supporters on their feet; quick, clean turnovers opening up space for both sides. Clifton number eight Phin Kalambay and fullback Tim Shangase at the forefront for the home XV with equally good stuff from combative Saints centre Steven Scott and left wing Nate Sisa.

“A strong home-team finish inspired by Phin Kalambay, powerful hooker Seb Rich, flanker Josh Platford and captain and tighthead Greg Binedell in the death throes of an energetic first half put Clifton in excellent field position inside the Saints 22 with a variety of possible plays at hand. But the tryscoring opportunities are blocked out by determined and courageous Saints defence with strong grade 11 centre Steven Scott never far from the action.

“And the St Charles College first XV’s self-confidence leads to the Saints once again crashing through in that selfsame left-hand corner – this time the touchdown from lock forward Scott Haygate… the tight five clearly have a penchant for Spur restaurants.

“The 20-minute sequence from the onset of the second half was the period where St Charles College first XV took the outcome away from the home side, with Clifton trying in vain to get back in the game.
“And it might have got even worse for the home side after the re-start, when a powerful run by tough-as-teak Saints centre Steven Scott sees the midfielder having the ball dislodged from his grasp by a clutch of defenders on his back with the touchdown just a glimpse away.
“And here’s the point.
“In spite of being 30 points down with less than 15 minutes to go and the match to all intents and purposes lost, Clifton never threw in the towel – not even for a moment. To Jono Cook’s mind there was not one Clifton man who figuratively “raised the white flag of surrender”.
Clifton College had their moments (Conna Steadman in possession) but as a rule Saints had their number – until the brace of home-side tries near the end. Photo Duncan Andrew
“This Clifton spirit was perhaps personified by using one example – Tino Mazhinda, who started the match at 12 but moved to 8 and made a set of bullocking runs from the base of the scrum in the second half.
“And after over an hour of toil without the electronic scoreboard reflecting any reward… that never-say-die Clifton College first XV spirit was finally acknowledged in the numbers when it looked like – possibly… I think, I hope – it was centre Conna Steadman who went over (why do this year’s KZN10 first team players persist in scoring at the furthest possible distance from where I am standing lol).
So
Clifton finally on the scoreboard…

KZN schoolboy hockey Michaelhouse Kearsney thriller
Looking ahead to Saturday by taking a look at last week’s epic
With Michaelhouse first hockey team at Northwood 11.45am on KZN10.com Super Saturday and Kearsney hosting Glenwood 11.15am on their Founders Day, let’s look at the MHS/KC epic that took place on Aitken’s Astro in Balgowan last time out.
An epic it was, a fitting contest for Michaelhouse Old Boys Day:
Tracey van den Aardweg feature image caption: Menzi Mhlungo on the attack for Kearsney in the remarkable 4-2 win over Michaelhouse at Aitken’s Astro in Blagowan last Saturday.
Michaelhouse took an early 2-0 lead that could have been 3-0 and even 4-0 before halftime on another day. Instead, the halftime winning margin was a gettable two goals and Kearsney knew it. A purple patch in the third quarter duly turned this clash on its head.
Here’s Jono Cook’s match report.
Kearsney pull it out of the fire to emerge victorious at Michaelhouse
After early Kearsney pressure it was Michaelhouse who brought the first save from the visitors’ shot-stopper Chris Kiggen. At the other end soon after it was Michaelhouse keeper Jason who was Williams called into action.
PMB-based Clox Scoreboards will never let you down. http://clox.co.za/
(The published shirt numbers didn’t always correlate with all the player names, so please excuse me if occasionally the wrong player name is used, but I would say most are correct).
A great goalshot from Kearsney vice-captain Chase Kelly earned the visitors their first penalty corner and Kelly induced a Top Gun save by Michaelhouse keeper Jason Williams!
Both sets of supporters were chanting and singing with the drum rolls ringing out across Aitken’s Astro.
A PC followed but the trap from the corner injection was untidy and danger was averted.
Prior to this clash, in the last 5 meetings, Kearsney had won 2 including the last 2 matches while Michaelhouse had won 2 and one match was drawn.
And 7 minutes into the match Michaelhouse captain Ben Rebeck showed customary skill and his trademark calm presence of mind to pick his spot, although it must be said that the Kearsney defenders didn’t engage him in an effort to close down the space and perhaps force a hurried shot.

This was the one of four Ben Rebeck goals in the remarkable win over Hilton 5 May 2018. It looked like Ben was going to do it again.
A Michaelhouse penalty corner evolved shortly after and up steps Ben Rebeck… Mugabi Lubinga traps the corner injection and Ben flashes his drag-flick into the Kearsney net!

At the other end Kearsney poured on the pressure in an effort to pull one back but an excellent flat-stick tackle by Michaelhouse central defender Ethan Hartwell extinguished the threat. Then it was Kearsney striker Gontse Machaba who came close to opening the visitors’ account.
Let’s mix and match present- and past-tense in describing the rest of the match –
Undaunted, Michaelhouse earn a PC soon after and keeper Chris Kiggen saves – and another PC is awarded… Michaelhouse on fire… the Kearsney College boys behind the goals are hushed… It’s a Ben Rebeck drag-flick and a Chris Kiggen glove save.
Yet another Michaelhouse PC… The danger is contained and Kearsney break out fast from deep but the dangerous move is cut short just outside the strike zone. At the other end in this high-tempo game a Ben Rebeck power shot brings calls for a penalty stroke but the umpires are having nothing of it despite the Michaelhouse protestations.
Here’s the video
End of an action-packed first of four 15-minute chukkas it’s

Be it SubjectChoice or CareerChoice, Pivotal Talent has the solution. www.pivotaltalent.co.za
Into the second chukka and a Mugabi Lubinga through-ball earns the 2018 SA U16 Interprovincial Nationals’ Most Valuable Player a penalty corner. The Ben Rebeck shot is defended very well by the Kearsney PC defence.
Meanwhile, Michaelhouse vice-captain Rorke Melville is marshalling his defence well in the face of Kearsney pressure. It’s tempestuous out there on Aitkens Astro.
Then it’s that perpetual energy machine Jacques Minnaar of Kearsney College who gets in a backhand goalshot! Followed by a super backhand shot by Kearsney livewire Jacques Minnaar that crashes into the side-netting!
A weaving run by Michaelhouse forward Michael Christodoulou looked likely to bring further damage to Kearsney but a great tackle by Kearsney College defender Calvin Davis restores order for the visitors.
Septic tank & sludge pit drainage? Why let it drain you? John Smithers has got your back. email johnsmithers@vodamail.com.
And then – before halftime… It was an “Ooooo my WORD O-ooooh!” moment. A Mugabi Lubinga pass threaded through the Kearsney defensive screen was latched on to by the lateral-running Michaelhouse speed merchant striker Thabo Dlamini and the upshot was a Luke Gammie volley from inside the six-yard box that smashed into the Kearsney College crossbar like no other crossbar blast I have ever seen!
So, with a bit of luck Michaelhouse would have been 4-0 up at halftime and it can be argued that Kearsney would have found it extremely difficult to come back.

Into the third chukka (or quarter) and Michaelhouse are not done yet, earning a penalty corner but the trap is untidy and the goalshot opportunity goes a-begging.
(As mentioned, the 2-0 deficit that might on another have been 4 was still well within this quality Kearsney side’s grasp if they turned up the heat. Another factor is that Kearsney appeared to be the fitter side and that certainly appeared the case in the second half, when Kearsney made it look easy in cutting out a loose Michaelhouse midfield and were thus able to fire the ball from deep straight to their high-hanging strikers).
But as the Goddess Hockey would have it the Kearsney boys break from deep and it looks like vice-captain Chase Kelly, according to the programme, who fires home the penalty corner!

Then a minute or two later it’s a Kearsney College penalty stroke and Chase Kelly makes it 2-2 with 5 minutes gone in the third quarter.

St Charles vs Glenwood! Friday night hockey with KZN10.com & Jonathan Cook
Friday’s 7.30pm match-up between hosts St Charles College first hockey team and visitors Glenwood has the makings of a competitive, action- and emotion-charged spectacle.
That the first team clash represents the culmination of a five-match package on Saints Astro it would be fair to assume a good turnout of KZN10.com hockey fans, particularly with the broader Saints staff having gone the extra mile in making the occasion one of add-value entertainment.
The 4-2 St Charles College defeat to Maritzburg College on Saints Astro last time out saw Saints show patches of outstanding hockey despite the week-long layoff going into this local derby.
The customary scrumptious offering that accompanies an SCC afternoon tea (from 4.30pm to 5.30pm) is augmented by the fact that the convivial Coach House will be open from 4.45pm.
One cannot help surmising that braai fires on the Coach House lawn might well come into play among a posse of enterprising individuals during what is set to be a festive Saints Friday night in the KZN capital.

Erm… back to the hockey.
The main focus will obviously be the battle of skills and wills between the schools’ flagship teams come the 7.30pm push-back.
Preceding that, however, are two attractive clashes between the respective U14A sides at 5.10pm and the U16A’s at 6.15pm so there’s plenty in store.
Today’s Glenwood first team players carry a proud hockey history.
St Charles College hockey specialist and first team head coach Matt Coombes has impressed this year in moulding his squad and to pick on one match in particular, the unpredicted draw at Kearsney earlier this season caught the eye of many a knowledgeable observer.
That visitors Maritzburg College outlasted Saints 4-2 last time out, one must bear in mind that the SCC boys had come off a week’s recess leading into the local derby.
Glenwood have two or three notably outstanding players – national age-group recognition is no mean feat – and they were most impressive in the 2-2 draw with Maritzburg College on the 3-Schools Astro in Durban last month.
Hockey success is built on spatial awareness. Consult the experts. Make an appointment. http://www.hilliarandgray.co.za/contact/
And in London 2012 Olympian (among many other accolades) Jonty Robinson, the lads from Surf City have a first team head coach and director who is one of the most internationally experienced and hockey-savvy mentors in the business.
One could mention first team players taking part in this match but let’s see who puts his hand up to write his own story on the fresh page that is this evening’s tasty offering.
Suffice to say that each of the schools has a proud hockey history (St Charles College’s Springbok hockey wing of the 1950s Mally Beckett comes to mind) and one need look no further than the legendary Madsen brothers during their days in Glenwood colours and after, to understand that every man jack on the turf during this evening’s premier bears the badge of the great players before them.
The battle for possession will be key to this evening’s Saints v Glenwood outcome – plus the ability to convert goalshot opportunities.

Elizabeth Moore paints the picture:
Level 2 was held in Sasolburg in April 2019.
15 eager young swimmers from Pietermaritzburg schools raised their Penguins club colours with pride.
The PMB schoolboys and girls represented in the Penguins swim team were from Maritzburg College, Cordwalles, Cowan House, Laddsworth, Clarendon, Epworth, GHS and The Wykeham Collegiate.
Flying the flag: Penguins Swimming Club members in Sasolburg.
Bossing the overcast weather, the swimmers put on their best performances. They battled the storms up ahead both mentally and against their competition in the pool.
And torrential storms did indeed make their presence felt when the heavens opened on the last day.
Ready to out their best for Penguins were Ashley Ferguson, Georgina Francis, Sibonga Khumalo, Katie Moore, Jessica Oxenham, Caitlyn Slabberts, Serante Subramanian, Emma Williams, Patrick Lamb, Kian Lister, Mathew Marillier, Rueben Marx, Ethan Muir, Kingsley Thompson and soon-to-be-part of Team Penguins, newcomer Caitlin Soden, who represented Seals Swimming Club in Sasolburg.

Swim SA accredited coach Elizabeth Moore chatted to Penguins coach Sheralee Jolliffe about the Sasolburg Experience.
Elizabeth: “Sheralee, it was obviously an extremely exciting week for the Penguins Level 2 swimmers, Penguins coming first out of the 63 teams at the event in Sasolburg with Patrick Lamb from Laddsworth and Emma Williams of Epworth taking home 5 Gold’s.
“Sheralee, congratulations are certainly in order. So how do your top swimmers maintain this high level of achievement…”
Ever watchful: Penguins SC coach Sheralee Jolliffe loves to see her swim boys and girls in competition action.
Sheralee: “Elizabeth, the higher the level the harder it is. The commitment and achievement of the swimmer lies in training 6 to 7 days a week in comparison to 2 to 3 days a week.
“Remaining disciplined is vital; if you don’t come to training, you don’t get the results. The quality of training technique also drives the results.
“For the Level 2’s this provides the grounding to move forward as well as the stepping stone into Level 3”.
Penguins’ Sasolburg Experience In Short
Day 1
Penguins leading the weekend forward with 15 swimmers, 44 swims, 27 personal bests, 35 finals and 16 medals: Boasting 7 individual Penguins gold’s for the day and in the team favourite, the Relays – Boys under 13-16 Individual Medley taking gold in the time of 2:23:77.
Swimming is a technically precise sport. Your vision deserves nothing less than the insight of experts. Make an appointment. http://www.hilliarandgray.co.za/contact/
Day 2
Penguins easing into 4 golds, 5 silver and 3 bronze: One of the medal winners, and one amongst many of Penguins’ focused and dedicated swimmers, was the fast-improving Sibonga Khumalo, who won bronze in the 100-metres backstroke.
Day 3
Ending Penguins’ Sasolburg Experience on a high, Patrick Lamb won his 5th gold – in the 200m backstroke final, and Emma Williams took her 5th gold – in the 200m freestyle.
Washing up the three-day Sasolburg Experience were the 5 exciting relay races; in the girls U12 and up: 4 x 50 freestyle, Penguins shone in taking Gold while in the Boys 13 – 16yrs 4 x 50 freestyle Penguins did well in earning the silver medal.
In Penguins harvesting 7 medals out of 12 relays it was a great effort and a tribute to team spirit. Indeed, a phenomenal rush for the team to recall on the way back home and further into the swim year.
Penguins head coach Mandy Wheeler is never far from your nearest swimming pool.
*****
The Sasolburg Experience ended on a high note for Penguins Swimming Club… And a great personal success and sense of accomplishment for the team coaches, Mandy and Sheralee, who give so much of their time, energy and passion into the sport which is reflected in the medal-winning response of their swim boys and girls.

Just 4 points separated Kearsney and DHS
As we look forward to a KZN10.com Super Saturday featuring Kearsney College hosting Maritzburg College and DHS travelling to Michaelhouse, let’s look back on the recent match-up between the fine young men from Botha’s Hill and the worthy lads from School.
Kearsney hosted DHS for a great Saturday afternoon’s running rugby in which neither team disappointed.
Tracey van den Aardweg feature image: Kearsney fullback Derick Marshall in possession during the win against DHS on Stott Field last Saturday
The visitors got the scoreboard rolling with a penalty in the 12th minute from a breakdown infringement in the Kearsney half.
The hosts responded quickly and scored a classic counter-attack try through fullback Derick Marshall, 8th man Massimo Fierro and winger Luke Dudley doing some good work before passing to scrumhalf Jordan Bamber who outsprinted the cover defence to score under the posts.
The versatile Bamber converted his own try for a 7-3 Kearsney lead.
Clox are the undisputed leaders in KZN scoreboards. https://clox.co.za/
The lads who stand by the motto Carpe Diem then scored from a trademark pick-and- go via prop Bradley Taylor after sustained pressure to stretch the lead to 12-3.
DHS responded well, scoring a converted try by captain and lock Taariq Kruger from a quickly-taken tap penalty, to reduce the deficit to 10-12.
Kearsney had the last say in the half with a spectacular try by fullback Derick Marshall after excellent play by centre Connor de Bruyn.
Half-time score 17-10 for the hosts.

Kearsney started the second half at high pace but unfortunately the good work was undone with a handling error in close quarters.
DHS clawed their way back into the game, scoring a deserved converted try to level the scores at 17-17.
Kearsney, in coming back, played good rugby and were rewarded with a converted lineout-maul try by hooker Reid Stuart to restore the lead again at 24-17.
DHS responded with a penalty to close the score at 24-20 to the hosts.

The hosts showed solid, resolute defence while DHS displayed exciting attacking skills.
With the try count reading 4-2, Kearsney were worthy winners.
Outstanding players for Kearsney were Marshall, Dudley, De Bruyn, Bamber, Fierro and captain Ox Carmody.
The win gives the Kearsney squad and coaches Barend Steyn and Nico Breedt momentum leading into Saturday’s much-looked-forward-to match with the Maritzburg College first XV on Stott Field.

Let’s hope Kearsney physio Scott Munroe has had a quiet week leading into this KZN10 Super Saturday muscle-up.
From the Durban High School perspective there is much in the way of good stuff for the team and coaches Ronnie Uys and Ruan Lombard to take away from the Kearsney clash ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Michaelhouse on Meadows – and a couple of finer points to iron out – perhaps from a defence perspective.
Again, KZN10.com hopes that DHS physio Marc Colia has enjoyed a quiet week.

1sts hockey: Saints come back but Red Army prevail
St Charles College first hockey team fought back from a 2-0 halftime deficit against Maritzburg College and then 3-0 early in the second half, to 3-2 with 12 minutes left before the 4-2 goal 5 from the end sealed a deserved victory for the Red Army.
This much-anticipated local derby took place in front of a sizeable crowd around Saints Astro and the first 10 minutes presented a tussle for midfield supremacy.
In the last five minutes of the first quarter (match in four 15-minute chukkas) the match began to loosen up with several close calls at either end after nifty build-up.
The new trend continued early in the second quarter and Maritzburg College went 1-0 up in the match’s 19th minute when the first penalty corner saw Red Army captain Pio fire low to the keeper’s right.
Two well-worked moves down the right were nullified by the Saints defence as Maritzburg College began to gain the ascendancy.
Midway through the second quarter, the second Red Army penalty corner saw a double-castle attacking formation at the top of the strike zone.
The corner injection went to the furthest castle out right and Pio’s hip-high flick flew past the wrong side of the keeper’s left-hand post.
As the second-quarter clock ticked along, the Saints defence found themselves absorbing considerable pressure.
Just 23 seconds to halftime a through-ball was slotted into the strike zone and the alert Mthalane got the deflection goal to put the Red Army into a healthy 2-0 lead at the changeover, capping off an excellent second quarter for the Red Black and White.
Early in the third quarter another neat move into the strike zone witnessed a fine deflection goal by the Red Army’s Ngcobo (3-0).
Perhaps a key factor at this stage was that the Maritzburg College defence were successful in breaking down Saints attacks in the attacking third, leaving the Red Army’s SA Schools 2018 goalkeeper Ngcongo with little to do.
Three-and-a-half minutes to the close of the third quarter (42nd match minute) and against the run of play, the hardworking Saints earned their first penalty corner (PC).
Maritzburg College lost two defenders for breaking early and with just 2 PC defenders now on hand to support keeper Ngcongo, this represented a golden opportunity for the Saints to pull a goal back.
And so it was, with SCC skipper Church (I think) getting the goal-line breaker (3-1).
The game was now on, but would the Saints have the goods to eliminate the Red Army’s two-goal advantage?
Early into the fourth and final quarter the Saints earned their second PC – it was another SCC match-changing moment that had to come off.
The initial PC drag-flick shot was blocked but Saints quickly recovered to effect a deflection goal (not sure who the scorer was) and at 3-2 Red Army with 12 minutes left this derby was there for the taking.
Outstanding stick-and-ball skills at close quarters by MC striker Prinsloo set up a penalty corner but the goalshot chance was superbly intercepted and cleared by Saints skipper Church before a rapid-fire MC backhand shot sailed over the crossbar shortly after.
Perhaps a key derby differentiator was that Maritzburg College’s technical skills were a touch above that of the Saints lads, and top skills by the Red Army’s Veenstra won a penalty corner opportunity with 5 match minutes left.
The initial strike was flung low to the keeper’s right and corner injector Jackson was on hand to pop in the Red Army’s 4-2 goal off the shot-stopper’s pads.
Great skills by Ngcobo created space for this striker’s shot but the turf-fizzer drilled into the near-post sideboard.
At the other end superb close control by SCC’s Mollentze extracted a fine goal-save by Red Army keeper Ngcobo off the striker’s shot.
And Game Ovaaaaa!
St Charles College 2 Maritzburg College 4
A fair outcome.
Boss Rugga – The Glenwood Green Machine wrap it up in style
Glenwood continued their outstanding form with a comprehensive win on the third and final day of yet another highly successful Standard Bank Easter Rugby Festival, hosted so professionally (as always) by Kearsney College, but the two other KZN10 school first teams – Kearsney and DHS – ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
Glenwood (31) 38 Transvalia (7) 7
With rain falling steadily, the conditions were not conducive to running rugby and yet Glenwood’s handling was barely affected.
Mistakes in the wet by Transvalia cost them points as the Glenwood boys were quick to counter-attack, which led to tries against the run of play.

Transvalia scored in the first five minutes following a maul, hooker Bernard du Plessis breaking from the back to dive over, for a converted try by Shaun Christie (7-0).

A penalty by Glenwood ace Jordan Hendrikse made it 3-7. Glenwood, more adept in the wet, scored their first try when centre Martino van Wyk sliced through; again converted by Hendrikse.
The lead changed hands in the Green Machine’s favour (10-7).
Then a kick, chase and gather saw Green Machine winger Carlo Cloete race away from the defence to score in the corner.
Once again the prolific Hendrikse boot spliced the uprights – this fine young talent seems to revel in the challenges placed on him by touchline conversions (17-7).
Two further converted tries, first by flanker Ethan Smit and the second by hooker Sikholisa Nanto saw Glenwood into a comfortable 31-7 lead at the changeover.

When play restarted, the mist was billowing in and conditions worsened. The rugby, however, continued to enthrall, with good running and good defence.
Glenwood scored again through fullback Steven Gibb and, with the conversion, the Durban lads went into an unassailable 38-7 lead.
Scores:
Glenwood: Tries: Smit, Cloete, Van Wyk, Nanto, Gibb; Conversions Hendrikse (5); Penalty Hendrikse

Kearsney College (3) 8 Welkom Gim (7) 21
The final game of the 12th Standard Bank Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival was between hosts Kearsney College and Welkom Gim.
The prevailing conditions were not good.
Kearsney opened the scoring with an early penalty by Jordan Bamber. The Welkom Gim backs battled to employ their trademark running style, so knock-ons and losing their footing was all-too prevalent.
Welkom Gim lock forward Christo Steyn forced his way over for Welkom’s opening try; converted by Marchall Andrews, for the Free State side to lead 7-3.
The rest of the half saw Welkom coming close, but they could not add to their tally, leaving the halftime score 7-3.

With conditions darkening and thick mist coming in again, the rugby was a forwards game.
Kearsney stood up to the challenge and eighthman Massimo Fierro opened the scoring in the second half, going over in a flurry of bodies in the corner.
This put the hosts 8-7 in front with 20 minutes remaining.
Welkom were awarded a penalty and Andrews added the three points to put his side into a 10-8 lead; with the mist making it difficult to see across the field at this stage.
This lead was increased when Andrews converted his second penalty and Welkom led 13-8 with 13 minutes remaining.

A try was scored in the far corner by Welkom wing Morne Maastriet, which increased the lead to 18-8.
Andrews was deadly with his boot even in these conditions, and he added his third penalty for Welkom Gim to lead 21-8.
Kearsney pressed for the last few minutes but could not get over the line, leaving Welkom deserved winners by 21-8.
Point scorers:
Welkom: Tries Steyn, Maastriet; Conversion: Andrews; Penalties: Andrews (3)
Kearsney: Try Fierro; Penalty: Bamber

DHS (12) 19 HTS Drostdy (20) 27
The first of the KZN10 sides to play on Day 3, DHS, muscled up against the Western Cape’s HTS Drostdy from the Western Cape.
The latter had won their first game against Middelburg, but lost their second match to Welkom Gim. DHS were looking for their first victory, having lost to Transvalia and EG Jansen.
Drostdy opened the scoring with a penalty by flyhalf Carlton Pietersen after just five minutes.
DHS scrumhalf Jayden Cederos then chipped ahead for Sim Ngcobo to dot down ahead of the defence, to take a 7-3 lead after a successful conversion by Ngobani Dlamini.
Drostdy’s Pietersen converted his second penalty to narrow the gap to one point (7-6).

Centre Roann Jansen picked up the ball after a kick ahead to score under the poles and, with Pietersen converting, the lead changed to Drostdy (13-7).
Shortly thereafter Brian Dosemba went over in a flurry of bodies to narrow the gap to 12-13 and then a break by Pietersen fed fullback Keane Galant, who scored, leaving an easy conversion for Pietersen to make the half-time score 20-12 to Drostdy.
DHS were the first to score in the second half when Kaid O’Neill went over, converted by Ngobani Dlamini to again make it a one-point game (19-20).
The Cape boys increased their lead when flank Wynand du Plessis scored again, converted by Pietersen, for a 27-19 lead.
Rain started falling, which made handling more difficult. Both teams came close to scoring again, but the board remained 27-19 to Drostdy, giving them their second win of the festival.
Point scorers:
DHS: Tries Dosember, O’Neill, Ngcobo; Conversions Dlamini (2)
Drostdy: Tries Jansen, Du Plessis, Galant; Conversions Pietersen (3); Penalties Pietersen (2)

Kearsney Easter Rugby Fest marquee Day 2 match cut short by lightning
What looked to be a thriller in the making was sadly extinguished when lightning forced the Glenwood vs Selborne match to be abandoned. Of the other KZN10 teams, hosts Kearsney went down by 5 points to Framesby while EG Jansen had too much in the tank for Durban High School.

Glenwood 10 Selborne 15 (match abandoned – lightning)
The game many were anticipating between Glenwood and Selborne, last played in 2013, was the final game of the second day. Both teams had been victorious in earlier matches, Glenwood snatching a win against EG Jansen in the final seconds, whilst Selborne won comfortably against Noord-Kaap.
An early penalty in the game by Warrick Day put Selborne into a 3-0 lead. JP van Zyl on the wing scored a try a little while later, to increase the lead to 8-0. Lock Grant Pretorius stormed over midway in the half, converted by Day, for Selborne to lead 15-0.
Glenwood then scored a typical Glenwood try; when the ball passed through a number of hands ending with prop Blaine Golden scoring, converted by Jordan Hendrikse. Glenwood were back in the game 7-15 down at halftime.
Shortly after the break in dark conditions, Hendrikse narrowed the gap to 10-15 when he converted a long penalty from close to the touchline.
With lightning in the vicinity and the alarm sounding, the match was sadly suspended, and it was later decided the game should be abandoned.
Point scorers:
Selborne 15 Tries Van Zyl, Pretorius; Conversion Day; Penalty Day
Glenwood 10 Try Golden; Conversion Hendrikse; Penalty Hendrikse
Kearsney College 21 Framesby 26
The third match of the day saw hosts Kearsney College taking on Hoërskool Framesby, a well-conditioned unit from Port Elizabeth.
Framesby opened the score with a try by eighthman Ruan Claassen, converted by Juandre Liebenberg, for a 7-point lead after two minutes.
Kearsney came back with a try from a penalty close to the try-line, when fullback Derick Marshall burst over and, with the successful conversion by Cade Carmichael, the scores were level 7-7.

With Framesby winning the lion’s share of the ball, two further tries were scored, the first by flank Christo Grobler and the second by fullback Sebastian Brandt.
This time Liebenberg converted to give Framesby a 19-7 lead, which they held until the break.
Early in the second half hooker William Moffat ran 30m after forwards had dominated, to score under the uprights. Liebenberg converted once again for Framesby to lead 26-7.
With 10 minutes remaining Kearsney fullback Marshall broke through a number of tackles and, from a subsequent ruck, the ball went to centre Luke Wilson who sniped through, scoring under the crossbar.
Jordan Bamber converted and Kearsney had narrowed the gap to 14-26.
In an entertaining finish Kearsney kept the pressure on Framesby and centre Connor de Bruyn scored, converted by Bamber, to bring their points to 21-26.
Point scorers:
Framesby: Tries Brandt, Claassen, Grobler, Moffat; Conversions Liebenberg (3)
Kearsney: Tries Wilson, Marshall, De Bruyn; Conversions Carmichael, Bamber (2)
DHS 12 EG Jansen 39
After a full day of running rugby and a darkening sky, two jerseys, both navy and yellow, made it difficult for the referee and spectators alike. EG Jansen did have a yellow stripe over the shoulders which helped slightly.

The visitors to KZN went into a 3-0 lead after five minutes when Kyle Potgieter converted a penalty. This was increased five minutes later, when flank Jandre Odendaal showed pace and strength to dot down, but the conversion was inside, leaving EG Jansen 8-0 up.
With DHS defending and EG running with the ball, an intercept by Brian Dosemba led to an 80m dash to score under the poles, which Shakur la Douce converted, bringing the score to 7-8 which remained until the halftime whistle.
Early in the second half, a mistake by the DHS defence saw a pop kick land in the hands of Odendaal who strolled over for his second try, converted by Potgieter, for a 15-7 lead.
EG Jansen eighthman Franco Enslin beat the defence to score and increase their lead to 20-7.
With DHS’ heads beginning to sag, prop Brandon Pienaar forced his way over, this time converted by Jason Edward, for the Boksburg boys to lead 27-7.
DHS responded when centre Macneil Jenner scored after a move down the left flank to increase their score to 12.

Maritzburg College hockey looks ready for Saturday’s KZN capital derby vs St Charles College
Maritzburg College’s 1st XI Red Army competed in the Saints Easter Festival playing five matches over the Easter weekend while our U14B side took part in the Ken Florens Festival at Northwood.
1st Team Match Report – Dylan Coombes – Director of Hockey & 1st team coach
The Maritzburg College 1st XI took part in the annual Saints Festival and played 5 matches over the Easter weekend.
In their first encounter they faced St David’s who being a local team were geared up and ready for the encounter. The College team looked lethargic having travelled the same day and never got into their regular flow.
Feature image: The Maritzburg College first XI hockey team ‘Red Army’ is known and respected across the country.
St David’s took advantage of this opportunity and managed to beat College 2-1.

Thursday saw College play two matches against Pearson and Uplands respectively and were keen to get things back on track and return to winning ways. That they did when they put in a solid performance in their first match against Pearson.
College turned out and showed some great attacking play to beat Pearson 5-1.
Thursday afternoon and College faced a young Uplands team looking to gain some experience from the festival. College put in an extremely disciplined performance making very few errors winning 12-0.
Saturday morning saw College face a spirited St Albans team whom College had beaten 2-1 previously. The script however would be written differently this time around when St Albans took an early lead and extended their lead soon after.

College pulled one back but only converted one penalty corner from 8 and would lose the match 3-1.
Saturday afternoon saw College take on the hosts in St Stithians and once more wanted to correct what was a very mediocre morning run.
This they did and put in their best performance of the weekend in an extremely clinical display.
College started the match at an electrifying pace and took an early lead. The barrage was only starting and College were 4-0 up at half time. The second and third quarters played out with College eventually winning 6-1.

Solid Easter results for Maritzburg College ahead of local derby vs St Charles
The Easter weekend saw College play two rugby matches against Parktown and Kingswood College at the St Stithians Festival in Johannesburg.
The College boys showed great determination and courage in winning both of their games and are already showing excellent progression since the start of the season, ahead of the this weekend’s fixtures against St Charles College.

On 17 April the College 1st XV travelled to St Stithians in Johannesburg to participate in the annual Saints Sports Festival.
College vs Parktown
The College 1st XV faced Parktown as their first fixture. In the 13th minute Anele Nzimande, College’s flyhalf finished off a brilliant solo effort in the corner to open the account for College.
Henry Trodd easily converted from the corner to put College in the lead 7-0.
Shortly before the half time break Anele Nzimande finished off another sublime counter attack to put College in the lead 12-0.

Poor discipline came at an expensive price when after a surge of penalties College found themselves defending their own try line in the last minutes of the half.
Unfortunately the defence could not contain the Parktown attack and the locals scored a soft try just before the half time whistle had gone.
The second half started well for College as Jarred Hendrikz went over for the 3rd College try with Trodd slotting the conversion to add the extra two points.
Philani Simamane then managed to score a brace of long range tries in the 2nd half. Trodd converted one of the two. College ran out victors in this game 31 points to 5.

College vs Kingswood
College came up against the highly rated Kingswood side who had already taken some big scalps in their 2019 season.
They had beaten Dale College as well as Kearsney College in previous fixtures so this was going to be a good benchmark for the College 1st XV.
The game didn’t start favourably for College as they conceded an early intercept try, putting Kingswood in the lead 7-0.

College played in the right areas of the field and with forward dominance managed to hit back with a brilliant close-quarters try by Siya Ningiza.
College then converted more pressure into points and went over for their 2nd try by Junior Mndaweni in the form of a maul.
Anele Nzimande scored his 3rd try of the tournament in dazzling fashion as he once again outwitted the opposition defences and Trodd converted successfully.
The best try of the day was arguably one where almost every College player handled the ball. Junior Mndaweni was the right player at the right time and found himself on the end of a stunning team attack that left the half-time score at 24-7.

Anele Nzimande, with very little space and a defender clinging onto him, crossed the whitewash for his fourth try of the tournament. Henry Trodd, as has become the norm, slotted the conversion from the corner.
With a few minutes to spare Brannan Webster intercepted a wayward pass from Kingswood and with some mazy yet rangy running dived over for the final score of the day.
Overall College put together two solid performances, and there are still many aspects of their game that they aim to improve on.
The festival served as a good yardstick to see how the team has progressed since the start of the season.
