A Classic Clash in Potchefstroom
It is the land of Sarie Marais, the Mooi River and mealie fields – and an FNB Classic Clash on Saturday when Pretoria Boys’ High, who call themselves College, play HTS Potchefstroom.
These matches are pretty even.
Last year they drew 10-all. In 2010 the Tech won 20-18 In 2009 HTS won 21-8 and in 2008 Boys’ High won 32-19.
This year HTS Potch have been doing well, winning five of their seven matches, thanks largely to their backline which they hope will bring them victory against the heavier Boys’ High side.
