Schools Wrap: Grey College and Paul Roos emphatic in winning

Most of SA’s top schools were in action this weekend at either the Wildeklawer Festival in Kimberley or the Grey High Festival in Port Elizabeth. Grey College and Paul Roos were the two stand out teams. Paarl Boys High also had to fight to stay unbeaten in coming from 14-5 down to beat Affies 19-14.

Grey College on Friday put 45 points past HTS Drotsdy and on Monday accounted for Monument 36-21. Paul Roos were in demolition mode as they swatted aside Menlopark 68-25 on Saturday and on Monday whipped Waterkloof 63-12.

Paarl Gim also remained unbeaten with a thrilling 34-31 win against Monument on Saturday and 24-7 against Welkom Gim on Monday.

Paarl Boys High, unbeaten in South Africa against South African opposition for the past three years, hammered Waterkloof 53-10 early in the tournament. But on Monday late afternoon they had it tough against Affies. Boshaai produced a very strong last quarter to turn a 14-5 deficit into a 19-14 win.

Affies started the festival with a 38-14 win against Boland Landbou.

Glenwood were also in good form at Wildeklawer while at the Grey High Festival it was Selborne who made a huge impression.
