CC: Schoonspruit vs Wolmaransstad
Hoërskool Wolmaransstad will be going east for some 80 km to Hoërskool Schoonspruit in Klerksdorp for an FNB Classic Clash on Saturday.
They have not before beaten Schoonies but this time the Wollies will travel in hope as they have been doing well in the Puk 16 series. They also went down to the Cape on a rugby tour, just losing to the strong Punt side of Mossel Bay and to Sao Bras. They ended beating Groote Schuur – not a strong side – 28-10. Back home they beat Overvaal and Vryburg but lost to Piet Retief. The Schoonies beat Afrikaanse Hoërskool of Sasolburg but lost to Oosterland.
All in all a close match is expected and as a result a big and enthusiastic crowd is expected.
