Lions add schools rugby to their pre-match entertainment
A feast of schools rugby awaits the Emirates Lions faithful when their team returns for their home stretch at Emirates Airline Park, kicking off with two top schools from Lions and Cheetahs country setting the table for this weekend’s big clash in Johannesburg.
The Hoërskool Monument, for many years now the premier high school within the Lions’ borders will meet the enterprising Louis Botha Technical High from Bloemfontein in the main curtain raiser.
Four other mouth-watering school games have been secured as the main appetisers for the games against the Crusaders, Hurricanes and Blues.
It’s definitely not an April fool’s joke, but KES and Helpmekaar are set to meet in a curtain raiser for the Crusader clash, while Kempton Park and Transvalia will meet before the Lions kick-off against the Hurricanes.
Parktown Boys and St Benedics will play in the curtain raiser to the Blues clash in May.
