The local club is extremely proud to have four Paddock Polox juniors playing in the open sides – men’s and women’s – which is a massive achievement.
Kenan Classen (18) played for the official South African side against Ireland in U21 tests in April this year.
Jens Bunge (17) played this month in an U19 South Africa side in an unofficial test against the UK.
Playing in the women’s side are the Pretorius sisters Amber (20) and Paige (18).
They will be playing against the 2019 Irish World Cup side at the tournament in two weeks’ time.
Although the standard of play will be very much of an international level, these matches will be unofficial tests.
Organisers have encouraged the community to come and watch and enjoy a fun, family weekend.
