School rugby and netball at its best

POLOKWANE – The FNB Classic Clashes calendar kicked off on March 17 and promises once again to bring most of the top school derbies in South Africa to all school rugby supporters around the country.

The matches will all be broadcasted on SuperSport. Although most of the matched will be delayed broadcasted the FNB Classic Clashes is still the event which gives the most exposure to school rugby.

The FNB Classic Clashes is a concept that was developed in 2001. It was created to run in the same period as the annual school rugby clashes. FNB gives their supports to these games by allowing schools to promote themselves, while providing a day of entertainment for spectators of participating schools.

FNB Bank looks to steer sponsorship to further enhance these games by exposing the raw talent of schools boys and girls and evoking a sense of pride in the children through sponsored gear during the games. This has further inspired the participants to give their best and provide all watching with lasting memories.

The FNB Classic Clashes focuses on the areas of rugby and netball, documenting some of the country’s oldest rivalries in school sport. The FNB Classic Clashes also give children the chance to travel and discover the country while furthering their own talent.

FNB Bank was keen to extend this concept to include schools that represent various communities that played a good game and were highly competitive.

FNB Classic Clashes has given school sport a whole new meaning, and the sponsorship hopes to inspire a new generation of stars to keep South Africa entertained for years to come.
