Glenwood High beats Maritzburg at KZN Top Schools Festival
The new Durban Schools 20 minute a side KZN TOP SCHOOLS RUGBY FESTIVAL was a great experience and truly a hit for everyone.
Youngsters getting an opportunity to play on the same field as their heroes do is just priceless. All credit must go to the Sharks and KZNRU for their visionary thinking and execution of this concept.
Glenwood played Maritzburg College in the main game of the evening and Kickoff was at 19h50.
The Glenwood band was present as always and so was a very loud Gibson House that didn’t stop making a noise for the duration of the game!
The Green Machine started well with Derwent Stopforth crossing in the opening minute but the referee was on the wrong side of the grounding and the try was disallowed.
Sphamandla Ngcobo crossed the line 2 minutes later on the wing after some great inter play.
With the games only being 20 minutes a side the Glenwood team gave the ball lots of air and the handling led to the second try of the evening by captain Rupert Kay which Kyle Gerard this time managed to slot to take the score to 12-0.
The score remained the same in the first half with Glenwood making way too many handling errors.
Debutant Michael Teichman crossed for the only try in the second half after the backs broke out from their own 22m line, great play and a well deserved try by Teichman which Kyle Gerhard converted to end the game at 19-0 in the favour of Glenwood.
Even though College had some of their starting line up players in the stands it was still a physical game that both sides enjoyed.
The team is growing nicely and it was great to see all the boys enjoy the evening! Once again a big thank you to all involved in such a great event.
