Grasshoppers battle the Horseflies
It is an interesting match as Glenwood have a strong side and DHS are flying high after their substantial defeat of Maritzburg College up at College on Saturday.
At present Glenwood are ranked seventh on the Schools Top 20, DHS 12th, a negligible difference given the calibre of schools ranked on the Top 20, especially this year when there have been regular upheavals.
That was DHS's most remarkable win this year and it followed their win against Kearsney which suggests that they are on the up after a slow start. They have won seven of their 11 matches. Glenwood have won eight of their nine matches and that defeat was at the hands of Paarl Boys' High who are the top-ranked school in South Africa with 51 victories in succession in South Africa.
The only opponents the two schools have in common so far this year are Kearsney whom DHS beat 12-11 and Glenwood beat 59-12.
*This year we have the most comprehensive list of matches between the two schools that we have ever had, thanks to Glenwood, and that great schoolmaster Toppy Hortop, who, at 75, will be refereeing one of the matches on Friday.
