The Glenwood High School U13 Rugby festival took place from 14 – 16 March.
The 28 teams that participated brought with them flair and willpower for the game of Rugby and some very interesting results were recorded.
The participating teams were:
Amanzimtoti, Concordia, Constantia park 1, Constantia park 2, Dalview, Dphs 1, Dphs 2, Empangeni prep, Glenwood all-stars, Glenwood prep 1, Glenwood prep 2, Kruinpark, KZN Development, Northlands, Nuwe Republiek, Orion, Paulpietersburg, Penzance, Port Natal, Rustenburg, Sand du Plessis, South Coast Warriors, Thabazimbi, Tzaneen, Umhlali, Van Riebeek Park, Westville and Winston Park.
The boys played open and competitive rugby and gave their all for their team. Rugby at the development level is very encouraging and the coaching staff must be commended on producing fine young players. This was a great few days rugby, filled with entertainment and one team that excelled in the tournament in the very last game was Glenwood Prep and we would like to congratulate them.
