In KZN, in the midlands derby, Hilton got the better of Michaelhouse.


Paarl Gimnasium continued their unbeaten run this year with a thumping 80-29 win against Boland Landbou at the weekend.

Star centre Markus Muller was the standout performer. He scored five tries in the victory and also kicked nine out of 10 shots at goal.

Paarl Boys High were also victorious, winning 54-14 against Durbanville, while Rondebosch and Wynberg also ended the weekend on the winning side.

Up north in Gauteng, there were wins for St Stithians, against St John’s, and St Benedict’s while in KwaZulu-Natal, Hilton won the big midlands derby against neighbours, Michaelhouse, 29-20.

There will again be only a limited number of fixtures this coming week as the majority of schools across the country continue with their June exams.
