Kearsney takes on Hilton for their final fixture and it is set to be a cracker

Kearsney College is hosting Hilton for their final fixture of the season this Saturday and they will be looking to end things on a high note. They will find some tough competition in Hilton, though. 

Both Kearsney and Hilton players have done a good job of earning spots on the Craven Week and Academy Week teams. 

Kearsney College will be represented by two players, namely Siso France and Devahn van der Walt, on the Sharks u18 Craven Week squad. 

Hilton has done exceptionally well, with four of their players making it onto the Sharks u18 Craven Week squad. Christopher Horak, Akhona Kunene, Hanu Pieterse and Luke Watt will all be representing Hilton College at Craven Week. 

Kearsney also has four players attending Academy Week and Academy Week XV that will take the field on Saturday as part of their first team, these being Anele Cele, Connor McIntyre, Heinrich Fourie and Roydan Madatt. 

We have already seen competitive rugby from both schools this season and Saturday will provide nothing less.

The Northwood Knights will be battling it out against Maritzburg College this weekend in what should be quite the spectacle. 

Maritzburg College has the highest volume of players taking part in this years Craven Week, testament to their great rugby.

Six members of Maritzburg’s first team will be attending, these players are Aiden Botha, Sasha Kadira, Phiwayinkosi Khubeka, Luyanda Kunene, Elbie Mouton and Kuhle Mthimkulu. Maritzburg will take the field with a top notch squad. 

Northwood has earned some great outcomes of their own this season, including their 29-22 defeat over the Green Machine. 

Although the number of games may be decreasing, the quality of rugby is not. There will be plenty of rugby action in KZN this Saturday.
