Kearsney to host Easter Festival
Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:37
The Blythedale Coastal Resorts Schools' Easter Rugby Festival, hosted by Kearsney College, will be held from April 1 to April 5. Some of South Africa's top rugby schools will once again attend this year's festival.
Grey College from Bloemfontein, Monument from Krugersdorp, Glenwood, Selborne College and EG Jansen will all be in action at this year's tournament. Grey College, the No.1 school on last year's FNB Top 20, will lock horns against EG Jansen, Kearsney College and Monument at the tournament.
The hosts will face the Blythedale/eLan Invitational XV, Grey College and EG Jansen during the tournament. On the first day the main match will be between Monument and Glenwood. This match between the two powerhouses of the Lions and KwaZulu-Natal, respectively, is sure to produce some fireworks.
On the second day the match between Monument and Upington HS will be the interesting one to watch. The team from the Northern Cape played well during last year's Easter Festival at Kearsney College, but Monnas could just prove too strong for them.
On the last day, the main match will be between Grey College and Monument. The match between the hosts and EG Jansen is also a must-watch.
The participating schools will take a tour through the King's Park Rugby Stadium and the Sharks Academy on Friday, April 2 and Sharks players will be popping in at Kearsney to catch some live action.
