Knights and Green Machine clash for a rematch
The season is not quite over yet and for the schools still competing on the rugby field, they are looking to end things on a high note.
Both Glenwood and Northwood gave stellar performances in 2023, with the former being represented by Lithemba Mfupi on the SA Schools side and the latter being represented by Vuyo Gwiji on the SA Schools ‘A’ side.
Mfupi is making his school proud, holding the title of Captain, Deputy Head Boy and now representing Glenwood rugby on the international level.
Liam Terblanche, Glenwood’s Head Boy, took part in this years Craven Week. Jaco Williams, of Glenwood, will be joining the Sharks u19 squad after also taking part in the 2023 Craven Week. Bongani Dlamini, prop for Glenwood, formed part of this years Sharks u17 side and Bakhosibakhe Gamede represented Glenwood at the SA u18 Sevens training camp.
Northwood’s Siyanda Nkosi will be representing The Knights as part of the SA u18 Sevens Squad.
Northwood will be looking for their sixth win this Saturday, while Glenwood will be looking for their tenth victory of 2023.
This game will act as rematch, as The Knights and The Green Machine already battled it out on the rugby field mid-April this year. The Knights won that encounter 29-22, on Glenwood’s home soil; while Northwood will be hosting this time round.
