DHS and Glenwood depth stands out at Glenwood Rugby Festival
After six days of entertaining rugby in the 1st XV, 2nd XV, u16, u15, and u14 age groups, the annual Glenwood Rugby Festival came to a close in Durban, on Saturday.
Durban High School (DHS) showed off their strength in depth, with a DHS Invitation XV beating Landboudal 36-17 on Tuesday before holding Transvalia to a 10-10 draw two days later. School‘s 1st XV recently convincingly beat Kingswood College and Selborne College at the Standard Bank Grey High Rugby Festival.
Transvalia also cruised to a 45-9 victory over Vryheid Landbou, while Potchefstroom Volkskool went two for two, overpowering a KZN Select team 55-0 before claiming a hard-fought 18-7 win over Landboudal.
Jim Fouché battled to a 40-26 win over DF Malan and edged out a Glenwood XV 15-13 in their second outing. Glenwood’s 1st XV was involved in a low-scoring tussle against HTS Middelburg but came away with a 7-5 win. HTS Middelburg followed up with a 27-9 defeat of DF Malan and won 31-10 against Landboudal.
In the u14 matches, Glenwood and DHS ruled the roost. The hosts scored 100 points in two wins while conceding only seven, while DHS scored 101 and kept a clean sheet in both victories.
HTS Middelburg claimed two KZN scalps in the u15 age group, beating a Westville Invitation XV 33-22 and Northwood 19-17, but they were swamped by DHS, who roared to a 41-0 win. The Horseflies also handed Jim Fouché a 41-0 loss, and they overran CBC Bulawayo 50-0.
Glenwood was even more ruthless, crushing Jim Fouché 50-0, CBC 54-0, and a KZN Select side 54-0.
In the u16 games, DHS won by 50-0 margins against Jim Fouché, the KZN Select team, and DF Malan while Glenwood trounced DF Malan 45-0, but was made to work harder for a 33-12 victory over Jim Fouché before finishing with a 50-0 victory over DF Malan.
Transvalia was the pick of the 2nd XVs, beating Hilton College 31-14 before thumping Jim Fouché 50-3 and DF Malan 50-0.
