Farm Boys meet in Riversdale
There they will play another ardent derby on Saturday with 17 teams meeting on the rugby fields.
17 teams! That is a lot for any school but these are small schools. Oakdale is bigger for it has 403 boys, Boland Landbou just on 350. That means that a minimum of 255 boys are playing in those teams. Add on players injured or ill and those involved in support – as touch judges or providers of first aid, refreshments and information – and this certainly is a meeting between two schools – and how they enjoy it! To the players, their parents and the staff every match, from A to D, is a matter of great pride, excitement and determination, each school united in its resolve.
They have played 27 times. Boland Landbou have won 18, Oakdale 9.
Being a Premier Interschools Derby the match will be broadcast live on Supersport – channel 210.
