SA Schoolboy and club sport
Club cricket is still very much alive....we played a 40 overs match last weekend and there's a limited overs tournament this coming weekend....the winter months are generally the tournament months. It helps keep the kids in form for when the leauge starts again in August / September....
Every weekend you find clubs looking for matches....this is Youth cricket obviously....the junior cricket has officially ended....thats under 10s till under 13s.
The youth cricket is one helluva step up from under 13s....like going from junior school to high school. I think they play through to under 19s in Youth cricket. And then its senior cricket...which is more social.

I struggle to watch the Aussies playing Superrugby. Rather watch our schoolboys in between the cricket
Kwaggas vs Bishops will be a good match to watch

PRG had a very good day at Grey High. All their A teams won which was surprisingly.
Some big Easter tournament clashes coming up. Grey College vs Paarl Gim should settle the top rank schoolboy team at Wilde Klawer.

Terrible news coming from Dale College this weekend. Their first team lock passed away after sustaining a head injury during play. Earlier in the week one of their kids was killed in a hit and run accident too.

I watched on and off yestereday. Enjoyed the Paul Roos - Garsfontein match. The PR no.13 Jurenzo Julius is something else. Here is a highlight of him from the match against Bishops. The lad is a beast.

Yep he is a Namibian boy and a great athlete. He and Paul Roos TH prop is class but they,ll need more of them on saturday against Paarl Gim in Paarl. Would love to go watch (lived for 15 years a block from Paarl Gim).
I watched the game, the first SA schools game I've seen in a while.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 7:18 pm Paarl Gim vs Grey College. No better rugby then this.
Oh my goodness, it was outstanding. Even my wife got involved watching. Very high standard of skill and athleticism, and great passion from both sides. SA rugby is in good hands if this is the conveyor belt of talent.

The thing that I like about that game is the running rugby both teams played.
Most of our schoolboy rugby is nowadays on you tube live streaming.
This Saturday it's Paul Roos vs Paarl Gim.
The Cape Town schools like Bishops and Rondebosch are also very strong this year.
I love schoolboy rugby.

Supersport Schools Youtube channel is really starting to gain some traction. The Paarl Gim vs PRG game already has 37k views.
False Bay played Durbell yesterday and the Currie Cup clash between Zim Goshawks and Boland was part of a double header at the club yesterday. It was an awesome day and a brilliant idea to tie a club fixture to Currie Cup game. There was great attendance and a shit ton of beer consumed.

School rugby in SA is going to massive from July with no CC/URC.
They'll going to get their rules in tact regarding coaches and spectators running on the field

Nice to see the lesser well know schools excelling. Keep an eye open for Ebenezer Tshimanga who is on the bench for WP CC tomorrow. A 105KG Congo heritage winger. Twenty year old schoolboy superstar. He scored a matchwinning try for Wynberg Boys vs Paul Roos last year.

Grey 21-10 Boishaai. Ref het halftyd in die game gekom.
Millies 14A lost 2 to 0 against Reddam Constantia.
My boy said they were very skillful with their passing and interceptions. He waa devastated that he let 2 goals in. That's 4 now for the season. They only got home after load shedding started last night. A long day

Saved the Paarl Gim v Paul Roos until I had some time. I was impressed by the SA schools in their skill, not just relying on size when they hosted that tourney vs foreign schools pre Covid (whupping them in most cases).
Watched two big Kiwi schools recently and it was just boshing for 75 mins.
Questions … do these big SA schools require tuition fees? Either way, are they recruiting many kids from smaller schools or would they be mostly ‘home grown’ from the lower school(s)?

Most of the big rugby schools are fee paying state schools. These are run by a governing body of parents, educators and learners. They are able to supplement school funding by levying fees. Schools like Paul Roos, Grey College and others have considerable infrastructure. And yes the big rugby schools openly offer bursaries to talented kids from everywhere. There is a bit of skullduggery and poaching but most of these schools talent comes from their catchment.Niegs wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:16 pm Saved the Paarl Gim v Paul Roos until I had some time.

Siya Kolisi for instance was a bursary boy at Grey High in Port Elizabeth. Cheslin Kolbe went to a fee paying state school that woudn't be considered a rugby powerhouse - Brackenfell. Makazole Mapimpi went to a state school where fees are not charged - ie free.

Cheers! And what would the fees be? Boarding obviously factors in, but ‘fee paying state’ is not something we have here. Either full independent or public. But I worked in a Catholic school in Oz that required just a fee of less than half the 10-20k that’s often the norm here.FalseBayFC wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:52 pmMost of the big rugby schools are fee paying state schools.

Edit… I see about 40k Rand. That’s not too bad considering independent schools I worked for here in Canada charge 15-25k / year.

They have 1200 boys and only 300 boarders.Niegs wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 8:06 pmCheers! And what would the fees be?

Paarl Gim have 500 boys 700 girls and 900 boarders. Their catchment area is Paarl , Northern suburbs and everywhere from SA.
The big midfielder from Paul Roos scoring the winning try is from Namibia.
Both schools have a very strong rugby culture and about 20 rugby teams in total.
Your fees is about right.
