Monnas dominate Golden Lions
Florida and a few others come, too
Hoêrskool Monument of Krugersdorp dominate the Golden Lions Craven Week team in the way Grey College usually do to the Free State team. Monnas had ten players in the side.
They have another three players in the Academy side.
It rather gives the lie to the accusation often levelled at the great rugby school that they are filled with aged post-matrics. They in fact have three players no longer eligible for Craven Week – Jerry St Jerry, Corné Cordier and Divan Espach who are all in there Taus team which will take part in a week in Orchestra.
Florida have six players in the Craven Week side, which means there are only six places for other schools – two each from Helpmekaar and Marais Viljoen and one each from Greenside and Hoêrskool Alberton.
