Teens vie for season trophies in colts rugby
This weekend the rainy weather and wet fields couldn’t keep the rugby boys away and six tournament games took place on Sunday with some exceptional rugby on show.
THE Durban Rugby Sub Union rugby club season is coming to an end after eight exciting weeks of club rugby that have taken place between rugby clubs from all across Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Margate and Ballito.
Colts rugby, which is focused on club rugby between the ages of 13 and 18, has had another strong season and the penultimate league tournament took place last Sunday at Hillcrest Villagers club.
The clubs see players from all over the greater Durban area make their way to the clubs with the promise of playing above school level and making the prestigious KZN Duiker team that plays in the inter provincial tournament (IPT) against the Junior Bulls, Lions and Valke teams.
This weekend the rainy weather and wet fields couldn’t keep the rugby boys away and six tournament games took place on Sunday with some exceptional rugby on show. Hillcrest Villagers hosted Harlequins, South Coast Warriors, Collegians, Varsity College and the Jaguars. Heading into finals this Friday, each game was hotly contested with slippery and muddy conditions under foot. The results of Sunday’s tournament games were:
