Showing tremendous team spirit, Kearsney opened the festival with a 3-1 win against St Albans.

The following day, an improved performance resulted in a 7-0 win against Parktown, followed by an excellent 5-0 win against Affies.

The run of form continued, with a 1-0 win against Helpmekaar, before the heavy schedule took its toll and, after a frustrating match, Kearsney lost 1-2 to a very determined SACS team.

After a break they were ready to face Paul Roos, the festival’s strongest team, and showed tenacity, working exceptionally hard to come away with a 1-1 draw – a fair result after a very tough match.
