Affies go to Glenwood
On Saturday this week a huge contingent from Affies goes from Pretoria over the mountains and down to the coast to get together with Glenwood in a series of sporting encounters.
There will be hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and, out at Amanzimtoti, golf. Of course, the encounter between the first two rugby teams will be a focal point of interest.
At present Affies are ranked second on the FNB Top 20, Glenwood 15th, but more than most Glenwood play top schools around the country.
The Season so Far
This year Glenwood have played Paarl Gim (ranked 1), Paarl Boys' High (6), Garsfontein (8). Monument (11), Kearney (18) and Paul Roos (19) of ranked schools plus Boland Landbou, Hilton, Maritzburg College, Drostdy and Framesby. Sadly they did not play against Westville (12). Of those top schools whom they played, Glenwood beat Paarl Boys' High, Framesby, Boland Landbou, Hilton and Maritzburg College.
Affies have played against Grey College (3) Waterkloof (8), Grey PE (14), Paul Roos (19) of ranked schools plus Framesby and Maritzburg College. They have won all of their matches this year.

SA Schools
Affies had two players in the SA Schools team – brilliant hooker Francois Steyn and centre Jurie Linde who played for SA Schools in 2012 as well. Big lock RG Snyman may well have been unfortunate not to have made the side.
Players to Watch
Corné Vermaak is an outstanding player for Glenwood, brilliant on the counter. Unfortunately he has had a season spoilt by injuries.
The Affies' player to watch is hooker Francois Steyn.
