Although the grass was wet and slippery, the boys played competitively, dominating the field with their skills, resulting in a win for St Stithians, who scored 14 against Cordwalles, who scored 10.
Speaking to the publication, Gordon Ephram, St Stithians Boys Preparatory coach, said he was proud of his team. “We played well. We came from a couple of horrible games that we played recently. Although we have things to work on, I am happy, because last year we lost against Cordwalles.”
Gadi Sibisi, the Cordwalles Preparatory School for Boys coach, said it was a tough match, especially because the grass was wet. “The wet grass resulted in our slow start, but as things dried up, we got better, guards came off, and the boys brought their energy on the field.”
