The hosts’ u19 rugby team takes on Vredendal in the main event of the day, where they will hope to kick off their winter sports season with a bang.
With the likes of Bernardo Diedericks at outside centre, the Robertson fans are sure to be treated to the exciting brand of running rugby they enjoy.
Diedericks was a member of the SA u17 Sevens team that earned bronze at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago last year and played an integral role in Robertson’s success throughout the season.
The Robbies already revved up their engines with some practice chukkas against Stellenberg earlier in the month and will be anxious to kick on from there.
Their opponents from Vredendal had a mixed season in 2023 and will be eager to make a positive start to 2024.
In the curtain-raisers, Overberg takes on Langenhoven Gimnasium and Montagu faces Jakes Gerwel to set the scene for an exciting day of schoolboy rugby in the valley of wine and roses.
