School Results - to 1 March 2014
In some places they are playing cricket, weather permitting, but already but other schools have decided that the end of February is near enough to autumn for rugby matches to take place – not just practices or trials, but matches.
The Cape it seems are late starters but then they play till the end of winter.
Here are some results, but if there are any we have missed, please, send them to paul@sportsmedia365.com.
Some of the schools put XV after their name. That says that this is not necessarily their 1st XV as they have not had a full chance to decide on their team.
Some of the matches are shorter than usual and, because of some competitions, some schools played each other twice.
There is an interesting one in which Lady Smith beat her husband Sir Harry.
