The Sharks under 21 team scored 11 tries on their way to a 71-17 win against their Leopards counterparts on Friday evening. Although the possibility of defeat was not a consideration coming into this home game, the magnitude of the final score was somewhat of a surprise given the fact that the Leopards often produce very competitive teams at junior level.

However it was not to be their day and they went down by a heartbreaking point, losing 22-21. […]

It might seem like a brave decision to schedule the main game at the same time as the Sharks match but based on the importance of the occasion and the quality of the visitors, there is bound to be a big crowd in attendance.

For the second year in a row, the honour of playing College on Goldstones on their Reunion Day falls to Glenwood. It is possibly the worst day in the calendar year to have to play a game of rugby at College. A huge crowd is expected to get behind the home team and based on the importance that College attaches to the occasion, all their teams including the First XV, will be playing with significant extra doses of passion. This Reunion Day factor alone makes College the favourites to emerge as victors. […]
