GREY COLLEGE 32 – WESTVILLE 20

A determined Grey College took the lead only 11 minutes into the first half, scoring two tries using the pace of Lourens Steenkamp and Henry Slabbert. Westville soon recovered and dominated possession for a while, which was rewarded with an excellent try by Bradley Smith, when fly half Lindo Buthelezi put a kick up for the no 15, who then scored under the poles. The conversion by Kyan Braithwaite put Westville now only three points behind their counterparts.

Sustained pressure and good tackling by Westville put the Grey College back-line under pressure. Grey’s pace, however, proved to be too much for Westville and Henry Immelman went over shortly before half time to take the score to 16 – 9, with no conversions from the Free Staters.

The first points of the second half came in the 5th minute with a penalty from Westville’s Braithwaite. The no 9 scored an excellent try five minutes later, after which Daniel Rust from Grey reciprocated with a try for his team.

Wth eight minutes to go, Adrian Heystek took the score to 20 – 20 when he flew over for a well-rewarded Westville try.

But in the end it was Grey who proved to be too strong for the Natalians, clocking up two more tries to ensure that Grey were the victors 32 – 20.

Point Scorers:
Grey College: Tries Steenkamp, Slabbert 2, Immelman, Rust, Wessels; Conversion Steenkamp
Westville: Tries Smith, Braithwaite, Heystek; Conversion Braithwaite; Penalty Braithwaite

GAME 6
AFFIES 14 – MONUMENT 36

Monument’s Wikus van Biljon opened the score board early in the game putting three points on the board in the form of a penalty. An unfortunate mistake in the Affies defence resulted in a five- pointer under the poles by Waldo Kriel and a successful conversion, again by Van Biljon, to take ‘Monnas’ into a 10-point lead.

Great attacking play from Affies resulted in a try by Jaun Basson and a successful conversion by Pieter Coetser. Monument pulled it back and a hat trick of tries by Waldo Kriel, plus another try from Jaun Lemmer, gave them a solid lead of 27 – 7 at half time.

It was deja vu when the first points of the second half again came courtesy of Monument’s Wikus van Biljon in the form of an excellent drop goal to add another three points to their tally. In the 42nd minute, Van Biljon once again slotted the ball through the poles with a penalty, making it 33 – 7 to Monument.

With good defensive play, Monument was able to keep Affies away from their try line, as they weren’t yet prepared to succumb. Sustained pressure by Monument resulted in a penalty, once again flawlessly executed by Wikus van Biljon.

An excellent game of rugby, which kept spectators enthralled, was convincingly won by Monument.

Point Scorers:
Affies: Tries Basson, Bodenstein; Conversions Coetser 2
Monument: Tries Kriel 3, Lemmer; Conversions Von Biljon 2; Penalties Van Biljon 3; Drop goal Van Biljon

Four teams – Grey College, Monument, Glenwood and HTS Middelburg – go unbeaten into the final day (Monday) of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival. In what is being dubbed the clash of the titans, Grey and Monument will play each other in the penultimate match of the festival, which kicks off at 2.30pm.

The match between Grey College and Westville Boys’ High provided some wonderfully exciting rugby on Saturday. With the score 20-20 with eight minutes to go, the experienced Grey team maintained their composure, taking their opportunities to ensure a final winning score of 32-20. Grey can expect an even tougher encounter on Monday, with Monument having played some superb rugby at the festival, to beat Framesby Hoerskool and Affies.

At midday Westville will face Selborne College from East London, who have lost to Affies and beaten Framesby at the festival.

Glenwood’s defence was tested on Saturday with EG Jansen’s relentless attacking. Today the local team play Framesby from Port Elizabeth who, in spite of two losses at the festival, have displayed some moments of brilliance and sustained pressure on opposition.

In the final fixture of the festival, host team Kearsney College will take on Hoerskool Dr EG Jansen, the Boksburg team who play a very physical brand of rugby. Kearsney had an excellent win against Dale College on Saturday, with both teams providing spectators with a feast of running rugby.

Kicking off the day’s play, Nico Malan from Humansdorp will face Dale College from King William’s Town. Both teams will have something to prove, having lost both their fixtures at this festival.

The first game of the afternoon session sees Affies take on HTS Middelburg, which should provide some quality play. Middelburg has won both its fixtures and Affies won its first, but lost to Monument in an exciting encounter on Saturday.

Selectors from The Sharks and Sharks Academy have been in attendance at all festival games. The recipients of three bursaries, each valued at over R100 000, will be announced after the final game. This includes a contract with the Academy for 2015, accommodation and a tuition bursary with one of its education partners.

Entry to the festival is R50 per vehicle, which includes a glossy souvenir brochure, and there is ample parking available. Food outlets and a refreshment marquee will ensure spectators are able to fully enjoy the family-friendly event.

The final day of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival got off to an exciting start this morning, in perfect sunny conditions. The organisers and major sponsors – Standard Bank, Illovo Sugar, Sharks Academy and Nashua Durban – have been delighted with the good support which the festival has received over the weekend.

Selectors from The Sharks and Sharks Academy have been in attendance at all festival games. The recipients of three bursaries, each valued at over R100 000, will be announced after today’s final game. This includes a contract with the Academy for 2015, accommodation and a tuition bursary with one of its education partners.

Fixtures and up-dates are available on www.kearsney.com with approximately 50 photographs from each game on the Kearsney College Facebook page.

GAME 1
NICO MALAN 10 – DALE COLLEGE 25

Kicking off the day’s play, Nico Malan from Humansdorp took on Dale College from King William’s Town, with both teams having something to prove after losing both their first and second day fixtures. Nico Malan has struggled at the festival this year having lost both their matches – to Westville on Thursday and to HTS Middleburg on Saturday. Dale, in spite of their usual flair for unpredictable rugby, has also lost both matches – to Glenwood on Thursday and to Kearsney on Saturday.

The team from the Eastern Cape kicked off and put pressure on Nico Malan from the start.
The first points of the match came through great running play by Dale College hooker Bubele Gongqu who scored under the poles, converted by Justerino Davids, to open the score at 7-0 in Dale’s favour.

Nico Malan recovered quickly and with good, steady phase play and consistent pressure on the Dale defence line, they were rewarded with a try by eighth man Dean van der Westhuizen to take the score to 7 – 5 to Dale.

After some scrappy play Davids slotted a penalty in the 17th minute (10-5) and within minutes Nico Malan number 9 Dian Hartzenberg broke through the Dale defence to dot down, bringing the score to 10-10.

In the 21st minute Bulele Gongqo notched up his second try of the day, once again converted by Justerino Davids to round off the scores at half time at 17-10 to Dale College.

The second half saw Dale exert consistent pressure from the re-start and they were unlucky not to score in the 44th minute when number 14 Luzuko Mase dropped the ball on the Nico Malan try line. But this was the theme of the half as both teams were guilty of far too many handling errors and scrappy play.

It looked like the second half would see no points added until in the 57th minute when Nico Malan handed Dale a penalty and Justerino Davids successfully converted to make the score 20-10. The renewed energy unleased a spate of running rugby and Davids crossed the line in the dying moments of the game to bring the final score to 25-10 to Dale College.

GAME 2
GLENWOOD 31 – HOERSKOOL FRAMESBY 29

Glenwood have had a fantastic festival, notching up two excellent wins – over Dale on Thursday and over EG Jansen on Saturday. Framesby, whilst performing better than in last year’s festival, have lost both of their matches – to Monument on Thursday and to Selborne College on Saturday.

Framesby began playing well with renewed energy and focus and impressed with a fine running attack for the first six minutes of the game and their efforts were rewarded when Rikus Zaayman crossed the line to record the first try of the match. Score: 5-0 to Framesby. Four minutes later Framesby momentum pushed Roche van Zyl over the line in impressive style, converted by Tiaan Stander, to take the score to 12-0.

In the 18th minute, again after consistent pressure and successful retention, Framesby no 10 Tiaan Stander went over to bring the scores to 17-0. The picture looked bleak for Glenwood until no 15 Morne Joubert managed to convert the second of two penalties to put Glenwood on the board in the 24th minute. Score: 17-3. And that opened the door for some very impressive running, culminating in a runaway try by Glenwood no 13 Sphandla Ngcobo, converted by Morne Joubert, to bring the scores to 17-10 at half time.

The second half began with Glenwood exerting relentless pressure on the Framesby pack. Framesby kept their cool and pushed Glenwood back into their 22. But it was Glenwood full back Morne Joubert who got the break and shot down the field for a 60m run to score between the posts. He converted, bringing the score to 17-17 in the 42nd minute of the game.

Two minutes later, Framesby proved they were still in the game when number 9 SF Nieuwoudt went over the line in loose play to make the scores 22-17. Framesby maintained the pressure, winning through again in the 51st minute when Mfundo Ndawo crossed the line and Tiaan Stander converted to push the scores to 29-17.

But Glenwood were not giving up and resurged as number 22 Jayden Morgan raced down the field in yet another runaway try from Glenwood. Morne Joubert converted to bring the scores to 29-24 setting up a very exciting final six minutes. And that is where the Green Machine proved its worth. Prop Kenny van Niekerk pushed over the line to level the scores and Morne Joubert converted to hand the game to Glenwood 31-29.

GAME 3
WESTVILLE 14 – SELBORNE 20

(Photos: Tracey van den Aardweg)

After Westville’s great performance against Grey College on Saturday, they continued to impress with good, basic rugby and were the first to score a try using the pace of Lindo Buthelezi. After a successful conversion by captain Kyan Braithwaite, Westville took the lead by 7 points to 0.

In the 16th minute, Selborne levelled the scores with centre David Brits scoring a try and Morgan Steyn converting. A penalty by Steyn put Selborne in front with 10 points to 7. This was also the half time score.

In the first few minutes of the second half, it was Westville who came out firing and they soon found themselves attacking their try line. Renier Pieterse went over for a well-worked try and Braithwaite converted to score the first points of the second half, putting Westville in front by 4 points.

It was Selborne’s turn to dominate possession and with good line-out play they soon found themselves on the attack. Grant Venter and Milani Lubelwana scored for Selborne within two minutes of one another, putting them six points ahead with just one minute to go.

When the final whistle blew, it was Westville who found themselves on the attack, but too little too late left the end score at 20 – 14 to Selborne who were the deserved victors. Selborne returns home having won two of their three festival games.

Point Scorers:
Westville: Tries Buthelezi, Pieterse; Conversions Braithwaite 2
Selborne College: Tries Brits, Venter, Lubelwana; Conversion Steyn; Penalty Steyn

GAME 4
AFFIES 10 – HTS MIDDELBURG 20

The physicality of this tough encounter was confirmed in the first five minutes with two great sides taking on each other. It was the team from HTS Middelburg who dominated possession until relief came for Affies.

With great line-out play, Affies ran the ball down the line, only to lose it again. HTS Middelburg found themselves on the attack once again, having most of the possession. It was an up and under from Affies which put them on the attack and close to their try line with only nine minutes to go in the first half. Unfortunately a knock-on gave HTS a scrum, after which Affies secured possession once again.

Great defensive play by the red team resulted in Affies missing an opportunity to put points on the board. Affies were eventually rewarded with a penalty by Pieter Coetser, to make the score 3 – 0 to Affies. It was a minute later that centre Ryno Lourens broke through to score the first try of the match. Pieter Coetser converted and the score was 10 – 0 to Affies at half time.

HTS Middelburg opened the scoring in the second half courtesy of winger Jan Rens with a great run-away try. With an unsuccessful conversion the score changed to 10 – 5.

It was once again the HTS attack which put Affies on the defence, and another try by Chrisjan Steynberg for the ‘Reds ’ levelled the scores with an unconverted try. With HTS Middelburg camping in their half, they were able to score again, taking a 17 – 10 lead with the try scorer Derik Willemse and Barend Smit converting.

A penalty in the last minute by Barend Smit sealed the victory for HTS Middelburg, deservedly so. A disappointed Affies team leave the festival with two losses.

Point Scorers:
Affies: Try Lourens; Conversion Coetser; Penalty Coetser
HTS Middelburg: Tries Rens, Steynberg, Willemse; Conversion Smit; Penalty Smit

GREY COLLEGE 10 – 10 MONUMENT

(Photos: Tracey van den Aardweg)

The team from Bloemfontein were on the score board with only nine minutes from the start, scoring two tries, one by prop Ruben Terblanche and the other by full back Henry Immelman.

Monument re-grouped and slowly found themselves gaining possession and almost scored twice. ‘Monnas’ had territorial advantage and impressed with good forward dominance. A knock-on by Monument relieved the pressure and Grey was able to consolidate.

With great attacking play from Grey College’s loose trio, with just five minutes to the end of the half, Grey came very close to scoring again. The half time score was 10 – 0.

The second half was all Grey College, with Monument fending off attack after attack. It was only when the Grey no 15 Henry Immelman missed a penalty that Monument was able to re-group. An excellent intercept try by flyhalf Ivan Smit from Monument, and a quick conversion by Wikus van Biljon, put ‘Monnas’ right back into the game. Another penalty by Van Biljon made the scores level at 10 – 10.

All credit must go to both teams for enthralling the crowd until the very end and for a game played in excellent, typical school boy spirit.

Point scorers:
Grey College: Tries Terblanche, Immelman
Monument: Tries Smit; Conversion Van Biljon; Penalty Van Biljon

MATCH 6
KEARSNEY COLLEGE 3 – EG JANSEN 25

Kearsney found themselves on the back foot right from kick-off, as EG Jansen’s pace and physicality put their defence under pressure. With only 21 minutes gone, EG Jansen were three tries to nil ahead, tallying the score up to 15 – 0. Just before half time, Forrest Roos slotted a penalty and the half time score was 18 – 0 to the boys from the East Rand.

At the start of the second half, Kearsney showed great defence and held their counter parts ransom and were unfortunate not to capitalize and score. A penalty by scrum half James Hall finally put the home team on the score board.

But EG Jansen scored once again, using their pace and through great team support, courtesy of Rouxbann Bauman and Forrest Roos converting.

Point Scorers
Kearsney College: Conversion Hall
EG Jansen: Tries Van Wyk 2, Cronje, Baumann; Conversion Roos; Penalty Roos

A highly successful seventh Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival wrapped up today with the announcement of five players who each received bursaries to the Sharks Academy for 2015.

Valued at over R100 000 each, the recipients are prop Kenny van Niekerk and flyhalf Curtis Jonas, both from Glenwood, flank Adrian Heystek from Westville Boys’ High, fullback Justerino Davids from Dale College in King William’s Town and fullback Barend Smit from HTS Middelburg. This includes a contract with the Academy in 2015, accommodation and a tuition bursary with one of its education partners.

In making the awards, Etienne Fynn managing director of the Academy, said the great pool of talent this year had made it extremely difficult for the selectors to choose only three players, as originally planned.

“The standard is again consistently high with excellent match-ups at the festival. Academy coaches and selectors who have been to the other festivals taking place around the country this weekend have reported that the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival has an exceptionally high standard of participating teams; with sides being very competitive and evenly matched.”

The festival was well supported with capacity crowds who were able to enjoy a high standard of competitive rugby in good weather. It was a successful event for organisers and sponsors Standard Bank, Illovo Sugar South Africa, Nashua Durban and of course the Sharks Academy.

Adding to status of the festival and to the thrill of competing players, international referees Craig Joubert and Marius Jonker officiated at three games. Joubert said it was always a delight to ref schoolboy games and to experience the wealth of talent coming through at this level of the game.

A highly successful seventh Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival wrapped up yesterday (Monday) with the announcement of the five players to each receive bursaries to the Sharks Academy for 2015.

Valued at over R100 000 each, the recipients are prop Kenny van Niekerk and flyhalf Curtis Jonas, both from Glenwood, flank Adrian Heystek from Westville Boys’ High, fullback Justerino Davids from Dale College in King William’s Town and fullback Barend Smit from HTS Middelburg.

“The standard is again consistently high with excellent match-ups at the festival. Academy coaches and selectors who have been to the other festivals taking place around the country this weekend have reported that the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival has an exceptionally high standard of participating teams; with sides being very competitive and evenly matched,” Fynn said.

At the end of the festival four teams remained unbeaten: Glenwood, HTS Middelburg, Grey College and Monument. Glenwood and Middelburg both won all three of their games played at the festival; whilst perennial powerhouses Grey and Monument won two and drew the game against each other.

The festival was well supported with capacity crowds who were able to enjoy a high standard of competitive rugby in good weather. It was a successful event for organisers and sponsors Standard Bank, Illovo Sugar South Africa, Nashua Durban and the Sharks Academy.

Adding to the status of the festival and to the thrill of players, international rugby referees Craig Joubert and Marius Jonker officiated at three games over the weekend.

The match against St Charles was played on Stott field in Botha’s Hill on a day of ideal conditions. St Charles had a strong physical pack which was assertive at line-outs and scrums. They were highly competitive and impressive at the breakdown and managed to break the Kearsney momentum at times.

Kearsney opened the score-board by turning over St Charles’ ball on attack, which allowed the Kearsney side to spread the ball to left wing David Zondi to cross over for the opening try. Tristan Tedder converted: 7-0.

St Charles was a powerhouse in the line-out drives and set up numerous plays. Kearsney struck again from a penalty move, which allowed tight head prop David Brown to score from a pick and go. Tedder converted, taking the score to 14-0.

From the kick-off Kearsney receive the ball and attacked wide with great inter-play between inside centre Sebastian Pau and right wing Langa Hlongwane, where Pau dived over for a try, 19-0. From a Kearsney lineout, Kearsney scrumhalf James Hall had a sniping run beating numerous defenders to go over for the last try just before half time. The half time score was 24-0.

The second half started with St Charles being on attack on numerous occasions, but the Kearsney defence stood tall, denying St Charles the ability to score. From a Kearsney put-in at scrum time, Kearsney flyhalf Tristan Tedder broke the line and off-loaded to outside centre James Tedder to score in the corner. Tristan Tedder converted to put the home side into a comfortable 31-0.

An impressive try worked by the Kearsney forwards allowed loose head prop Nicholas Luyt to score next to the uprights – which Tedder converted 38-0.

Flank replacement Anthony Quenet won a crucial turnover which caught the St Charles defence off guard, to allow Kearsney hooker Mzi Bam over for the final try of the day.

After a successful trip to Johannesburg in 2013, Northwood and Jeppe linked back up with full set of fixtures for rugby, hockey, squash and chess, all with an overnight bus trip.
This year saw a Jeppe side dubbed to be a Joburg schools rugby power house after a good win on their tour beating the top rated Australian schools side Scotts College. They travelled down to Northwood on Friday and were hosted by their opposite numbers that evening causing some new friendships to undoubtedly be made. Come Saturday however, it was business as usual and the Northwood Knights proved the doubters wrong and stunned the Jeppe side with a convincing 14 point victory.
Northwood were first to get points on the board with the talented boot of Sasasa Makhanya. Jeppe did not take long to reply and were in with a try down the blind side. If anything this helped the Northwood team pull together and they worked a penalty to the corner, eventually scoring a try by vice-captain Ngoni Chidoma soon after with a rolling maul.
Jeppe replied with a penalty late on in the half and this left the teams going in to the break at 10 all.
Both teams came out with a point to prove and were at each other’s necks so to speak. Northwood worked their way down field convincingly well through the boot of their strong Dutch international centre David Weersma pinning Jeppe back in their own half.
From here ball retention was vital and Northwood once again through some strong carries by flanker Calvin Silson found themselves close enough to the try line where they bullied Jeppe over the line with some pick and goes. A converted try gave Northwood a 17-10 lead. Northwood then had 2 more penalties converted. Jeppe worked back a try of their own after good phase play to get one right through the centre channel and touch down under the posts. The score was 24-17 to Northwood with just minutes to go when replacement winger Jabu Mabida caught an intercept and made good use of his legs to beat most of the defenders 60 metres to the try line scoring under the posts. This proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Jeppe and Northwood walked away with a well deserved victory (not just for them and their school but their entire community) 31-14.
After the great win on Saturday Northwood made a quick turnaround to play Parktown on Monday. Due to some injuries the back line was shuffled around and in the end the boys did well to not let this distract any momentum.
The game seemed to be one way traffic in the first half with Northwood showing their true quality as a team and were tactical at set pieces, the break down and, most importantly, defence-cutting out any threats from Parktown before they could turn into momentum.
Northwood found themselves leading 26-3 at half time.
They could then be accused of being human for taking the pedal off the gas and letting Parktown into the game with 2 tries of their own and some weak discipline gave Parktown 2 penalties as well. After a quick reality check for the team by captain Ross Muil, the boys pulled together again and some great line outs work by thrower Cameron Silson(younger brother of the larger ball carrying flank) combined with good jumping by locks Shane Kennedy and Greg Slater saw the perfect platform for the backs to get moving again and Norhwood finished strong with 2 more tries to stamp out any doubt that Parktown had a chance of a comeback.
Northwood won the game 38-19.
