Interschools in Paarl - results
1915-2005
Lots of people speak of Interschools but really there is only one called the *Interschools – when Gim and Boys' High meet in Paarl in the third term each year.
This year the big match is on 5 August, and a huge, excited, cheerful crowd will be at the ground on Faure Street.
It's a wonderful occasion for schools to display their wares, and the focus is on the rugby, especially the match between the 1st XVs. Lose all other matches but win that one and you have won. It becomes "the year we won Interschools". That creates a date all of its own.
Just for the record and to help with more accurate bragging we give the results of the 1st XV match from 1915 to 2005.
