SA schoolboy preview (9 June)
8 Jun 2012
Schoolboy Derby looks at Saturday’s top 1st XV games from around the country.
WESTERN CAPE
While the schoolboy action in the other provinces is starting to die down ahead of Craven Week, the scene in the Western Cape is still in full swing until next weekend (16 June).
The major clashes will see Paarl Boys’ host Boland Landbou, while SACS tackle a strong Paarl Gym side, who are doing fine without star flyhalf Handre Pollard.
Wynberg also take on Bishops, while Paul Roos have an easy match against De Kuilen.
Fixtures:
Wynberg vs Bishops
Paarl Boys’ vs Boland Landbou
De Kuilen vs Paul Roos
Tygerberg vs Rondebosch
SACS vs Paarl Gym
Strand vs Bellville
Drostdy vs Brackenfell
Hugenote vs DF Malan
Primrose vs Monument
EASTERN CAPE
Grey PE are off until the end of Craven Week, but there are still some big games this weekend.
Dale face Cambridge while Queen’s duel against Stirling. The Kingswood-Muir clash should also be an exciting encounter.
Fixtures:
Dale vs Cambridge
Kingswood vs Muir
Hudson Park vs Port Rex
Queen’s vs Stirling
KZN
While Glenwood and Maritzburg steal the spotlight, Kearsney will look to continue their fine form against Westville this weekend.
Michaelhouse and DHS also face each other in an historic KZN clash, that has been running for the past 105 years. DHS have won 70 of the 116 matches, while Michaelhouse have only won 40. However, the latter will be favourites this season.
Fixtures:
Glenwood vs Maritzburg College
Kearsney vs Westville
Michaelhouse vs DHS
George Campbell vs Hilton
UP NORTH
Not much to speak about up north, with Waterkloof and Menlopark the biggest clash happening this weekend.
Fixtures:
