Durban High School (DHS) and Paarl Boys’ High delivered a fascinating arm wrestle that was decided in the second last minute on Saturday at the Absa Wildeklawer Sports Festival.
Glenwood battled hard but went down to HTS Drostdy, while it was a forgettable day for Maritzburg College, who were trounced by number one ranked Paul Roos.

Standard Bank Grey High Rugby Festival
Westville Boys’ High overpowered Dale College, a team which had beaten Grey High School by seven points three weeks earlier, on Saturday in Gqeberha. It was an excellent festival for the Griffin, who went unbeaten at 1st XV, u16A, u15A, and u14A level.
The St Charles College 1st XV knocked off Hudson Park. The u16As beat the same opposition, while the u15A and u14A teams defeated St Andrew’s College, with the u14As, especially, proving far too much for the Makhanda side.
