Border Craven Week and Academy squads announced
Border has always been a Craven Week side which has, excuse the pun, bordered on greatness.
They’ve dominated rural sides and other smaller Craven Week regions. Yet, they have never quite been able to overcome the giants, such as Western Province, Free State and the other top dogs, consistently.
This year, they’ll be aiming to challenge the status quo, with a side that looks strong on paper.
The two squads include players from an astounding 11 schools, making them one of the, if not the, most diverse provinces at the Craven and Academy Weeks. The 24-man Craven Week squad, though, features players from five schools.
