Kwaggas to face Noord-Kaap in 90th celebrations match
Outeniqua High School will play Noord-Kaap High School in George on Saturday 10 August 2013 in the next Mutual & Federal Premier Interschools that will be televised LIVE on SuperSport 1 at 12:55.
Mutual & Federal Premier Interschools is a series of 12 matches, which feature the highest profile and most traditional interschool rugby rivalries, from South Africa’s top rugby schools, broadcast live on SuperSport from April to August.
Schoolboy rugby has served as one of the cornerstones of domestic rugby dating back more than a century, and true to its slogan “Honouring Heritage. Playing for the Future”, Mutual & Federal Premier Interschools is about History, Heritage and Tradition. The series, now in its second year, is expected to grow even stronger.
The Mutual & Federal Premier Interschools stories are further captured in 12 magazine shows which preview all the games and provide historical overviews of these traditional schools and highlight other academic, cultural and sporting achievements.
Being invited to play your hosts at their 90th celebrations is enough recognition of a school’s prowess during the last couple of years and thus Noord-Kaap High can feel proud of this honour bestowed upon them by
Outeniqua High. This can almost be listed as an Interprovincial match between Griquas and SWD as both schools had 12 players representing their province at Craven Week 2013. Although the team from Kimberley is not having the best of seasons according to their own high standards, they are still a very formidable team and rated as one of the Top 30 in the country. They have regularly appeared in the Top 10 rankings of SA Schools in the last few years and with 12 Griquas Craven Week players they will still pose a serious challenge to the home team.
The Kwaggas, as Outeniqua High is more affectionately known, is in contrast having one of their best seasons so far in the school’s history. Having only lost to Paarl Gimnasium so far and won against Grey College and Paarl Boys’ High, they have collected some serious scalps along the way in 2013. With four SA School’s players in their backline you can expect them to play an expansive game and bring these players more into play. They can however also rough it upfront with the best of them and if Noord-Kaap High prefers that type of gameplan they will find Outeniqua High up to it and more than capable of holding their own.
They have only played each other once before in the last five years and that was in 2011 when Noord-Kaap High downed Outeniqua High 43-22. The home team thus have a score to settle with the boys from Kimberley.
