Glenwood undefeated at rugby festival
Sharks Academy MD says Glenwood High School rugby is smooth and well oiled.
GLENWOOD High School retained its unbeaten record at the highly successful 10th Standard Bank Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival.
In announcing the awards at the end of the festival, Etienne Fynn, managing director of the Sharks Academy, said a great mix of schools from across the country had produced some excellent rugby at the festival.
“The competition out there increases each year, so it’s a reflection on the standard of this festival that many of the schools keep returning.”
“Noord-Kaap brought an outstanding brand of rugby, Monument was abrasive and direct, Glenwood rugby is smooth and well oiled, Dale came with their usual verve and Framesby showed great character,” he said.
Hoerkool Noord-Kaap won the newly presented Standard Bank trophy for the most attractive play at the festival, while Glenwood, HTS Drostdy from Worcester and Monument from Krugersdorp won all their fixtures over the weekend’s play.
Glenwood won against Hoerskool Framesby (21-10), Dr EG Jansen (24-19) and Hoerskool Noord-Kaap ((25-20).
The three-day event was well supported with excellent crowds who enjoyed a high standard of competitive rugby. It was a successful event for organisers and major sponsors Standard Bank, Halfway Ford, Hendok and the Sharks Academy.
