Youth rugby finals ends successful season
Colts Rugby will begin again in June next year and parents and players are encouraged to find out how to join.
THE Durban Rugby Sub Union (DRSU) Youth Rugby hosted the finals of the Colts Season on Sunday, 24 September.
The season has seen eight tournaments take place over the past eight weeks which involved hundreds of learners in Junior Club Rugby.
This season saw an increase of just over 21 per cent in registered players in the Colts season which caters from U13 to U18 players. The clubs span a large area of KZN from the South Coast Warriors to Pietermaritzburg Collegians to Empangeni Club plus the well know and established Durban based clubs like Harlequins, Crusaders, Hillcrest Villagers, Toti, Jaguars and Collegians.
This past Sunday more than 500 players arrived at Harlequins on the Bluff to play off in the finals.
DRSU Youth Rugby Chairman, Rudy Havenga said: “The Colts finals has highlighted the love and passion for the game at a grassroots level. The style of rugby played at this level of club rugby is promising for rugby in general as boys get to bond irrespective of what school they go to or where they live. It’s pure love for the game and it’s been a extra-ordinary day for all.”
