TACKLES and scrums were the order of the day as Durban Academy hosted Hoêrskool Suid-Natal to five rugby fixtures on Saturday, 11 May.

An optimistic Durban Academy sports coordinator, Naseed Abrahams, said: “Playing Suid-Natal is always tough as they are always well coached and are always physically bigger than our boys. However, I feel that all teams have improved and are playing good rugby. I am really proud that as the Bluff schools we have so many committed and disciplined boys playing well. The performance of the day came from Grosvenor 1st team. It was a huge improvement from their previous performances and they really defended well from a very imposing 2nd team. Lastly, we would like to thank all the referees and medical staff, without them the boys would not be able to enjoy this wonderful game.”
