Schoolboy Rugby – Fixtures For This Weekend Ending 29/08/2021

 

There is only a handful of matches we are currently aware of, as more and more schools decided to cancel the rest of the season to rather start with the summer sports.

Affies vs KES (https://www.facebook.com/seisport.tv/)
It will be the 14th time that Affies and Kes will play each other since 1997. Affies and KES met earlier in the season which Affies won 15-11 at KES. (Will be streamed via SEI)

Monnas vs Pretoria Boys High (https://youtu.be/JFFx5kSpxTg)

This will be the 3rd time Monnas will face Pretoria Boys High. The last time these two schools played each other was in 1998. Monnas is still to play their first game after the recent restart of the 2021 season while PBHS had a good outing against KES although they lost 24-27.

Rondebosch vs Bishops (SuperSportSchools)

The first official game between Rondebosch & Bishops First XVs took place in 1911, and 110 years later the derby between the two neighbouring schools remains the most anticipated rugby event on the school calendar.

Over the last six years, Rondebosch won six of the 10 encounters with one draw. Remarkably, the average point difference between Rondebosch and Bishops in the 197 matches played to 2019 is merely 3.2, with Rondebosch winning 79 and Bishops 99. Of the 19 draws 9 ended 3-all.

Although there is intense rivalry on the field, both schools have considerable pride in having each other as traditional rivals. Sadly, there can only be one Bisch-Bosch derby this year.
