Schoolboy Rugby In The Eastern Cape Will Be All Out Action And Emotion

 

The Eastern Cape will be having some brilliant matches this weekend and once again expect an upset or two in an action-packed weekend.

Dale College will be hosting Grey High School and although they are having a "horrible" season winning only two matches this season there will be more than enough passion on the field to give Grey High School a hard time. Grey, however, has not lost one game against another Eastern Cape school.

Framesby should be the favourite against Hudson Park in a match that should go down to the wire. One will have to see if Framesby can pick them up after a 03-15 loss to Marlow two weeks ago.

Marlow is on a six-match winning streak and lost their last match in early April against Pretoria Boys High at the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival. Hudson Park has lost four of their last seven matches after a brilliant start to the season that saw them winning six matches in a row. On current form, Marlow must be the favourite at home.

The weekend match must be between Queen's College and St Andrew's College. Queen's had a very slow start to the season, however, their win against Selborne College (19-10) a week ago will give them all the confidence and self-belief that they can beat their visitors on Saturday. St Andrew's is having a horrible run at this stage losing their last five matches in a row with their last one against Grey High (05-40) not nice at all. Queen's must be the favourites to send the home crowd home with a big smile on their faces.
