Inform Wollies host Schoonies
The Classic Clash is regarded as the highlight on the calendar for the two schools, with enthusiastic supports and cheerleaders setting up an amazing atmosphere for the first XV fixture. Unfortunately, last year’s match was cancelled due to severe weather conditions.
The last Classic Clash in 2015, Schoonspruit walked away with a 42-11 win and have dominated most the fixtures. However, this year could see Wolmaransstad defying the odds and could potentially pull off an upset.
Wollies have been better than usual while Schoonies' results have been less than good.
The visitors from Klerksdorp head into this encounter fresh from defeats against Hoërskool Vryburg (48-22) and Hoërskool Hartebeespoort (21-14).
While Wolmaransstad are oozing with confidence after they bagged some noteworthy results – the latest being a 40-10 win against HTS Rustenburg and a 36-8 win against Hoërskool Grenswag.
