Under-13 Craven Week starts
In Bela-Bela up in Limpopo, which used to be Warmbaths or Warmbad till 2002, the Under-13 Craven Week starts on Monday at Hoërskool Warmbad.
The name comes from the hotsprings at the town, Bela-Bela meaning boiling boiling.
The first match kicks off at half past eight, which is probably more comfortable up near the tropic than in most other parts of South Africa. Monday is expected to be a sunny day, starting off 5°C and climbing to 21°C . The whole week is expected to be sunny.
The 2013 Under-13 Craven Week is the 42nd, having kicked off in Potchefstroom in 1972, eight years after the senior Craven Week started. Originally there were 20 teams taking part. Natal did not take part and there was reluctance on the part of the English-medium schools generally. The Western Province team was made up of teams from the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town.
The team that did best in 1972 was Transvaal whose captain was Harry Viljoen of Gustav Preller Laerskool.
In the very first match Far North beat Western Province 6-4. This year's Under-13 Craven Week is in what used to be kwon as Far North.
The teams taking part that year were Boland, Border, Eastern Free State, Eastern Province ,Eastern Transvaal, Far North, Free State, Griqualand West, Northern Free State, North Eastern Cape, Northern Transvaal, North Western Cape, South & South Eastern Free State, South Eastern Transvaal, South West Africa, South Western Districts, Transvaal, Transvaal XV, Western Transvaal, Western Province.
