Grey and Monument into u15 and u17 Champion of Champions semis
The High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota, reaches its zenith on Saturday when the playoffs in the Champion of Champions Tournament take place at Grey College.
On Friday, the hosts went unbeaten through their pool in the u17 competition, but their u15 side was beaten by Monument.

In the u17 competition, Grey didn’t surrender a single point as they overwhelmed Cambridge, the Bloemfontein Invitation side, and Kempton Park, racking up 148 points in those three outings. The last victory, by 60-0, was surprisingly one-sided because Kempton Park won their other two games to finish second in the pool.
Monument took top spot in Pool B, but they didn’t produce a spotless record. Dinamika held Monnas to a 19-19 draw but fell to Durbanville 10-38. In a very tight contest, Monument edged out Durbies 21-19.
That loss means Durbanville will tackle Grey in the Cup semi-finals, while Monnas go up against Kempton Park.
In Pool A of the u15 competition, Grey College and Monument were expected to do battle for first place and so it proved to be, although Kempton Park stretched the Bloemfontein boys in their opener, with Grey winning only 12-7. Later, when Grey faced Monnas, the Krugersdorp school claimed a hard-fought 26-19 victory.
The top dogs in Pool B were Monument’s Krugersdorp rivals, Noordheuwel, who beat Durban’s Northwood to secure first place. Northwood, meanwhile, saw off Graeme College and Sentraal to book a semi-final showdown with Monnas.
