The Grasshoppers and Knights clash to be the highlight of this weekend’s KZN action
Glenwood and Northwood are both riding high from Easter Festival victories, now it’s time for a faceoff.
Glenwood recently defeated Dale College (19-7) at the Standard Bank Kearsney College Easter Festival.
Their team is looking formidable this season, they also put up a great fight at the annual NMI Toyota Menlyn Noord-Suid tournament in Pretoria.

Northwood also recently bagged themselves a couple victories, beating Hudson Park (31-13) and Ben Vorster of Tzaneen 30-15 at the Standard Bank King Edward VII Easter Festival.
Glenwood are playing quick and aggressive rugby this season, giving anyone who opposes them a challenge. This should be a great game of rugby as both sides bring their best. The Grasshoppers’ fullback, Jaco Williams, has had an impressive season so far.
If this is not enough excitement for the rugby fans, Clifton is hosting Maritzburg College at a Saturday Derby; a first in their school’s history.
Maritzburg just won all three of their games at the St John’s College Easter Rugby Festival, and you can rest assured they are hoping to continue this streak. Clifton will need to bring their A-game from start to finish if they want to defeat Maritzburg, whose reputation precedes them.
They say good things come in threes, and that holds true this weekend.
Westville Boys’ High will be contending with Durban High School in another great match up this Saturday. Westville did defeat EG Jansen (22-10) on Monday showing their dominance.
DHS is not going into this game without their own accolades, as they just beat Marlow Landbou (32-25). They played hard until the very end for the victory, and that is what both these schools will need to do if they want to be named champions come game day.
