Your guide to Easter schoolboy rugby fixtures

Several schools around the country will again put on Easter weekend sports festivals from tomorrow with the focus on rugby and hockey, but netball, squash, football and tennis and other sports will also be played, reportsThe Citizen. Up in Joburg the three traditional Easter weekend festivals will take place at St Stithians, KES and St John’s. The focus will again be on schoolboy rugby, with matches to be played at some schools on Thursday, Saturday and Monday.

A number of schoolboy teams from abroad will also be in action at the festivals, with sides touring from the UK and Australia. Several top schools have been in action at the Noord-Suid tournament at Affies in Pretoria over the last weekend and into today and some of them will thus not be involved in the Joburg Easter weekend festivals. Bloemfontein’s Grey College, however, who played at Affies, will have their first and second XVs in action on Thursday at St John’s.Here then are all the fixtures for the rugby festivals in Joburg this Easter.
