It’s Back! The 2024 Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools

Get ready to witness unparalleled skills, fierce competition, and unforgettable moments in the 11th edition of the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools. With a mouthwatering line-up of 24 matches, the 2024 season will kick-off from April 6th concluding with the final whistle on August 17th. As the game of netball and rugby continues to grow, upcoming school talent will have the chance to showcase their skills live on SuperSport, with enthusiastic supporters cheering them on from various sidelines across the nine provinces.

Let’s take a closer look at the upcoming rugby fixtures:

Glenwood High School vs Maritzburg College 6 April

Marking the explosive start of the 2024 Premier Interschools circuit, we head to the vibrant east coast of Durban for an epic clash as Glenwood hosts archrivals Maritzburg College. Taking a look at the last 10 showdowns, Glenwood dominated with a staggering 8 victories, while Maritzburg College only managed to grab two.

Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool (Affies) vs Paarl Gimnasium (Paarl Gim) – 13 April

Celebrating the 8th year of this rivalry – all roads will lead to Pretoria for the clash between Paarl Gim and Affies. With the Paarl team being the firm favourites on paper, Affies would need to dig deep for a comeback as their track record speaks 3 victories, 6 defeats and a draw out of 10 matches against their Cape rivals.

Paul Roos Gymnasium (Paul Roos) vs Paarl Boys’ High – 20 April

Get ready for an exciting clash as the tournament’s 3rd round lands in Stellenbosch where Paul Roos and Paarl Boys’ High will battle it out for local bragging rights. Paul Roos will head into the match with their backs against the wall as Paarl Boys’ clinched six out of their last 10 matches.

Paarl Gimnasium vs Grey College – 20 April

Prepare for an epic showdown on April 20th as the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools delivers a dynamic double-header. History will also be made as the Paarl Gim and Grey College clash is set to become an annual fixture on the rugby calendar with all teams competing. Since 2010 Grey College’s track record seems to put them in a favourable position as they claimed 6

victories out of the last 9, being played on rare occasions during festivals with Paarl Gim only having won 3.

Grey High School (Grey High) vs Paul Roos Gymnasium – 27 April

Travelling to the Eastern Cape a week later, the Paul Roos team will meet forces with Grey High School. With 10 closely contested battles played between these two teams - Paul Roos has clinched six victories, but Grey High isn’t far behind with four wins of their own.

Grey College vs Paarl Boys’ High – 11 May

The sixth rugby clash of the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools will lead us to Bloemfontein awaiting a titanic clash between Grey College and Paarl Boys’. The hosts have ruled the roost when looking at the last 10 matches, having won 7 leaving the Paarl side trailing behind with only three wins under the belt.

Bishops vs Rondebosch – 1 June

Gear up for one of the most historic derbies on the South African rugby calendar before the midterm break as Bishops will play host to Rondebosch. With both teams firing on all cylinders, Rondebosch holds a slim lead, winning five matches to four with one draw in the last 10 encounters between these two schools.

Waterkloof vs Affies – 20 July

After the June break, the games will commence with Waterkloof going head-to-head with longtime adversaries Affies in an all-Pretoria showdown. Affies has been dominating the field, emerging victorious in seven of the last 10 encounters between the two teams, while Waterkloof has managed to secure only three wins, with their last triumph dating back to 2017.

Durban High School (DHS) vs Jeppe – 27 July

The 9th game of the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools heads to the scenic KZN coast for an exciting clash between DHS and Jeppe. These two schools rarely cross paths, having squared off only six times since 2009. Jeppe has been dominant in these encounters securing victory in five out of six matches, while DHS managed to secure their lone win in 2017.

Paarl Boys’ High vs Paarl Gimnasium – 3 August

Considered as the biggest school sports derby in the world – on August 3rd Paarl will be overflowing with visitors as we head to Faure Street Stadium to see defending titleholders Paarl Gim taking on Paarl Boys’ High. With both teams locked in a fierce rivalry, the last 10 encounters have been neck and neck with the two teams holding five victories each. This historic derby, spanning over a century, is guaranteed to deliver yet another battle of the titans.

Boland Landbou vs Oakdale Landbou – 10 Aug

The Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools action will remain in Paarl for yet another week! This time, the spotlight will shine on the two agricultural powerhouses from Paarl and Riversdale: Boland Landbou versus Oakdale. Taking their last 10 battles into consideration - Boland Landbou holds a narrow lead with six wins over Oakdale’s four.

Paul Roos vs Grey College – 17 Aug

The final whistle of the Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools will go off in Stellenbosch as the 2024 season draws to an end when Paul Roos host Grey College in what could potentially be a decider when it comes to earning that top spot in the 2024 schools’ rankings.

Rugby-afrigters van plaaslike skole gesels met AWSUM

Die jaarlikse NMI Noord-Suid Rugby-toernooi het vanaf 22 – 26 Maart in Pretoria plaasgevind, en AWSUM het met die eerstespanne wat aan dié toernooi deelgeneem het se afrigters gesels en by hulle gehoor wat hulle filosofie as afrigters is en wat hulle meen die eienskappe van `n goeie rugbyspeler moet wees.

“Uit die aard van die saak sal ‘n goeie rugbyspeler beskik oor natuurlike talent, maar dié gawe moet aangevul word deur ‘n gesonde werksetiek, ‘n positiewe gesindheid, en dissipline,” vertel Ruan Jacobs, Affies se eerstespanafrigter. Jannie Geldenhuys, Grey Kollege se hoofafrigter van die eerstespan en die Cherries stem saam dat die waardevolste speler wat mens in rugby kry, iemand is wat vreugde daarin vind om hard vir sy spanmaats te werk. Die meeste van die afrigters stem saam dat `n goeie rugbyspeler gedissiplineerd, hardwerkend en doelgerig moet wees. “`n Speler moet aktief luister, inligting inneem en verandering op die veld toon. Talent bring jou net só ver,” meen Roean Bezuidenhout, afrigter van Welkom Gimnasium. “Ja, `n goeie speler wys wat hy sonder die bal kan doen en is `n speler wat onder druk kan floreer,” voeg Abré Minnie, hoofafrigter van Hoërskool Outeniqua by.

Afrigters leer by mekaar en kyk op na manne soos Rassie Erasmus, Stuart Lancaster en Bill Belichick, maar tog het elkeen ook sy eie filosofie as dit by afrigting kom. Dietlov Coetzee, afrigter van Helmekaar Kollege, glo daarin om eerste die mens te dien voor jy die speler dien, dit verseker dat alles daarna makliker is. “Die belangrikste is om `n leersame omgewing te skep en seker te maak die spelers geniet elke oomblik, om van die spelers beter mense te maak en hulle iets van werksetiek te leer,” vertel Rudi Dames van Hoërskool Dr. E.G Jansen. Die meeste is dit eens dat jy as afrigter die kind se karakter vorm en slyp. JB Naudé, Oakdale Landbouskool se agterlynafrigter byskryf dit mooi: “Om `n afrigter te wees is om `n timmerman te wees wat elke speler skaaf en vorm om sy volle potensiaal uit te leef, om sy drome en die span se drome na te jaag.”

Ons het ook in 2023 met die Springbokke se voormalige afrigter Jacques Nienaber net voor die 2023 Rugbywêreldbeker gesels en hom gevra hoe belangrik rugbystatistiek soos die aantal duikslae, meters gehardloop, ens. vir jong spelers is.Jacques noem dat vir laerskoolspelers dit net moet gaan om die spel te geniet en selfs tot in die hoërskool ook, maar as jy `n meer ernstige rugbyspeler is, statistiek al hoe belangriker raak en kan dit vir jou belangrike dinge uitwys. “Dit moet egter nie só belangrik raak dat dit die lekkerte uit rugby haal nie. Wat is daardie lekkerte? Dis die tye saam met jou vriende, in die tokkamer, die spangees, die kringetjie voor en na die tyd, die Maandag se praat oor Saterdag se wedstryd. Dís die goed wat mens onthou,” vertel Jacques.

Elke ouer wil net die beste vir sy kind hê, maar waar trek mens die streep. Jacques voel ouers moenie die lekkerte uit die sport vir hulle kinders haal deurdat hulle te ernstig daaroor is nie. Volgens hom is ‘n ouer se belangrikste rol om hulle kinders te ondersteun. “Probeer die afrigting vir die afrigters los, en as jou kind ernstig is oor sy sport, leer hom dan dat dit harde werk vat om bo uit te kom. Daar is niks verkeerd om ekstra tyd in te sit nie. Weer eens is dit die belangrikste dat hulle rugby geniet. Die ou wat dit maak, is die ou wat rugby ongelooflik baie geniet, want die opofferings wat jy moet maak, kan jy nie maak as jy nie lief is vir rugby nie en sonder daardie liefde vir die spel, gaan jy nooit genoeg dryfkrag hê nie. Jy moet as speler eienaarskap neem. Wat is eienaarskap? Dis nie die afrigter se werk alleen om seker te maak jy raak beter nie, dis jou werk om seker te maak dat jy elke dag verbeter. Afrigters is net daar om jou te help en te fasiliteer. Dis nie jou ouers se werk om seker te maak jy gaan oefen nie, dis jóú werk,” meen Jacques.

Die beplanning van ‘n begrafnis kan ‘n baie emosionele ondervinding wees en onnodige spanning meebring. Laat ons toe om saam met jou te beplan sodat jy gereed is vir wanneer jou gesin die finansiële hulp die nodigste het.
