Wynberg's 175 Festival
That there will be lots of celebrations is a good thing, after all Wynberg Boys' High, as it now is, is the second oldest school in South Africa and is happy to settle for second oldest though it was originally founded before SACS.
It is a great school and part of its greatness has been sporting. There have been great players from Wynberg, like Toskie Smith, Doug Hopwood, Dave Stewart, Lionel Wilson, Doug Holton and, till he went to Bishops, Robbie Fleck. Rugby will be part of its birthday celebrations, in particular a festival in April attended by 20 schools and involving teams from Under-14 up to 1st XVs.
The schools taking part include some from far afield and local. They are: Alberton, Bishops, DF Malan, Durbanville, Hugenote of Wellington, Jan van Riebeeck, Jeppe, King Edward VII School of Johannesburg (KES), Maritzburg College , Oakdale, Parel Vallei, Reddam of Constantia, Rondebosch, SACS, St John's, Tygerberg, Upington, Walvis Bay, Windhoek and, of course, Wynberg the hosts.
The matches will be played on Saturday, 30 April 2015 and Monday, 2 May 2015.
