Frans Malherbe u15 Festival jam-packed with tasty clashes
In 2026, the Frans Malherbe u15 Festival takes place from Friday, 27 March, to Monday, 1 April. Since its introduction in 2005, it has been hosted at Paarl Boys’ High’s Brug Street.
The event is now named after Boishaai old boy and Springbok prop Frans Malherbe, who boasts two Rugby World Cup winners’ medals and 76 caps for the national team.

There are plenty of exciting clashes lined up, with 26 schools competing in 39 games. The local sides, Paarl Boys’ High and their rivals Paarl Gimnasium, went unbeaten last year and will be focused on repeating those successes.
This year, Boishaai plays Grey High on Friday night, followed by a showdown with Hoërskool Waterkloof on Monday night. They wrap up their assignments on Wednesday morning against Hoërskool Trio.
Gimmies tackle Hoërskool Rustenburg on Friday night, face Hoërskool Wesvalia on Monday afternoon, and end with a clash against Hoërskool Middelburg at midday on Monday.
Stellenberg‘s 1st XV captured the spotlight two Saturdays ago with a 20-19 defeat of Paarl Gimnasium. Their u15 side will attempt to match their seniors’ winning way when they take on Wesvalia, Grey High, and Robertson.
