💥 Perfect Runs & Gritty Battles

DHS once again proved their class, finishing the festival unbeaten for the second year in a row. Right alongside them, Westville delivered three impressive victories, playing a brand of rugby that combined structure with pure flair. They were a joy to watch.

Monument High had a rollercoaster tournament—drawing with Glenwood, falling to DHS, and then edging out Milnerton High in a tense 26–21 showdown. Monument burst out to a 19–0 lead before Milnerton’s second-half surge turned it into one of the weekend’s most thrilling contests.

And then there’s Milnerton—while they didn’t finish unbeaten, their fearless, attacking style lit up the field. None more so than the Sellidon twins, Chadlin and Chadwin. Those boys were pure box office. 🔥

🌟 Strong Finishes & Standout Moments

• Glenwood wrapped up with a solid win, overpowering Dale College 33–12 after a gritty defensive display by the Eastern Cape side.
• EG Jansen edged out Framesby 22–20 in a clash that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
• Kearsney College, the proud hosts, ended their campaign with a commanding 48–8 victory over Peterhouse Boys’ High, finishing the weekend with two wins from three.
