Anderson led Saints to victory on opening day of their annual Easter Festival

Christopher Anderson, flyhalf of St Stithians College, was the hero as his side opened their Saints Easter Festival with a well-deserved victory of 27-14 over St Andrew’s College of Makhanda.
Watch all the action again on SuperSport Schools (www.supersportschools.com).
Anderson contributed 17 points towards his side’s score. He scored a brace of tries, converted two tries, and slotted a penalty.
St Andrew’s College’s fullback, Karabo van Heerden, was also in superb form as he scored a brace of tries from the back.
This year’s festival will only be played over two days with the final day being on Saturday. The Saints Easter Festival was the first of the Easter Festivals with the inaugural festival that was hosted back in 1984.
St Stithians College will be facing Clifton College of Durban in the main game on the final day of the festival on Saturday.
Clifton College also kicked off their festival with a 21-15 victory over Northcliff of Johannesburg. Their lock Lwazo Madikizela had the game of his life as he scored twice. He also made some huge tackles and even received a yellow card as he put everything on the line.
Northcliff’s winger Luke Roos also looked dangerous every time he was put in possession.
Secunda stole a 22-19 victory over a very formidable St Charles College outfit, thanks to a try after the hooter by prop Renier Combrinck.
St Charles’ scrumhalf, Matthew Fick, showed his class during the match. Fick already represented the Sharks at last year’s Craven Week and if he could build on his performance against Secunda he will be in action once again at the prestigious event later this year in Krugersdorp.
St Alban’s College’s scrumhalf, Joshua Verster, was the star as his side defeated Hartpury College’s second-stringers by 22-10. Verster added 12 points via a try, two conversions, and a penalty.
Verster is without a doubt a player to look out for in future.
