Canal Walk Schools Rugby Day results

PUBLISHED: March 26, 2013


The 8,500 fans at DHL Newlands on Monday were treated to an exciting day of schoolboy rugby at the 2013 Canal Walk Schools Rugby Day.

Four Under-9 games took place, along with one Under-13 fixture and a further five Under-18 matches (twenty minutes a half) – starting at 15h00 and finishing at 19h33.

There were two draws – between SACS & Strand High (5-5) and Rondebosch Boys’ High & Paarl Boys (0-0) – and wins for Bishops, Paul Roos and Paarl Gym in the senior games.

In all, twenty tries were scored in the five senior matches, with no conversion attempts or penalty kicks being taken, as the DHL Stormers and DHL WP players present (Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Nizaam Carr, Steven Kitshoff, Marcel Brache, Nic Groom, Frans Malherbe, Dewaldt Duvenage and Louis Schreuder) joined in the fun with the lively crowd (made up mainly of school-kids from the schools present) at DHL Newlands.

DHL Stormers prop Steven Kitshoff said: “It’s always great being back at DHL Newlands supporting my old school… It’s just great to see how this Canal Walk Schools Rugby Day keeps getting bigger and bigger every year.”
