Historic Overview – King Price Derby Series – Affies vs Garsfontein
The annual interschools between the Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool of Pretoria and Hoërskool Garsfontein is not the oldest or most traditional rivalry, but it is without a doubt the fiercest battle in the capital city of Pretoria over the last couple of years.
This year’s King Price Derby Series clash between the two schools will only be the fourth annual match-up. Before 2022, these two sides last met in 2010 during the Blue Bulls’ trials. They did lock horns annually in the Blue Bulls league from 1993 until 1996.
Garsfontein defeated Affies for the first time in 2022 when they came out on top by 20-19 in a closely contested match at Bere Park.
With the return encounter last year at Bere Park, it was Affies who won by 33-31 to end the Garsie Bere’s undefeated record at their home ground that had stood since 2019 when they lost against Menlopark (40-72) in the semi-final of the then Virsekerbeker.
