Paarl Boys High will look to end a four-game losing streak against Grey College on a weekend that will also see SACS host Rondebosch and Affies take on KES on Saturday.
Pedigree, heritage and tradition will be the highlight when the Premier Interschools game between Paarl Boys’ High and Grey College kicks off in Paarl this weekend.
Paarl Boys’ High and Grey College are amongst the oldest rugby schools in South Africa. They first played each other in 1950 and did not have a regular annual fixture due to the distance between the schools. Grey and Paarl Boys’ High played each other 21 times from 1950 up to 1995 and since then it became an annual event. In total they have played 47 matches with Grey having won 36, Paarl Boys’ winning nine and having two draws.
Since 2011 the Paarl outfit have been much more competitive than the earlier years having been on the winning end in four of their nine games with one draw in this period. Grey College go into Saturday’s match having won their last four games against Boishaai, a run stretching back to 2018. Meanwhile, there are two big games in Pretoria as Affies host Johannesburg’s KES, while Menlopark take on Garsfontein. In KwaZulu-Natal, Michaelhouse are up against Durban High and Hilton face Pretoria Boys’ High. The big Eastern Cape derby sees Dale College host Queen’s College.
