Wynberg Boys Junior School travelled up to Port Elizabeth this weekend in their annual weekend exchange with grey PE. Saturday saw the day for rugby fixtures, against strong Grey teams, but Wynberg can be very proud of their performances throughout the age groups.

Western Province Preparatory School u13A's draw with Wynberg.

It was an intense battle on Saturday afternoon as Wynberg tackled near neighbours Western Province Prep in another all boys derby match. Fresh from a long weekend break, both sides were up for the clash. The weather played its part, as the rain stayed away for long enough to have all fixtures played in dry conditions.

Wynberg rise to the challenge and triumph in severly difficult conditions.

The physical and hard-working Wynberg u14A rugby side had to contend with a new challenge in their bid to extend their winning momentum and we are not in the business of criticising referees but the manner in which this game was handled left a lot to be desired.

The side was literally blown off the field by the referee with the penalty count standing at 17-1 in favour of the opposition. The display was embarassing to the extent that the opposition coach felt the need to apologise to his opposite number after the game.

Wynberg overcome difficult weather conditions to beat Rondebosch

Wynberg had their first boy school derby of the season last Thursday, as they met Rondebosch in wet, windy conditions at Wynberg Junior School. After school matches are never easy for the boys’, but both teams were pumped up and eager to get their long weekend underway with a solid victory.

Wynberg overpower St Benedicts in stormy conditions.

With dark skies overhead and very strong winds ripping across the fields these made for difficult conditions to contend with for scrumhalves and flyhalves wishing to make use of the boot for territory.

With Wynberg u14A's playing into the wind in the first half against St Benedicts who had triumphed 22-7 against Drostdy it seemed as if the hosts had their work cut out for them.

Plenty of great rugby makes this festival a wonderful advertisement for school rugby.

Day one of the Wynberg Rugby Festival dawned with wet and overcast conditions and with the promise of more rain in the air some local spectators were well prepared for this outcome with their wellington boots, umbrellas and rain-jackets.

This turned out to be an unnecessary precaution as no more rain fell, but with a chilly wind picking up and the sun making an odd appearance everyone was kept guessing.

St John's (JHB) u14A provide Wynberg with a stern test which they pass with plenty to spare.

Wynberg's u14A rugby side played one of the late games yesterday against a plucky St John's side. With the other Wynberg A sides having won their encounters it was up to this side to continue that trend on the day. They did not disappoint.

Wynberg's junior 1st XV win a close game

Saturday morning saw the start of the Junior School rugby season, as Wynberg Boys Junior hosted neighbours Primrose Rugby Club. Conditions were overcast, but that didn’t keep the supporters away from witnessing what was a titanic battle between two well drilled teams.

Wynberg, who have just returned from a successful tour to Johannesburg had a lot to prove to their supporters and coaches, as well as themselves, after years of being labelled “an under achieving team.”

Wynberg's much fancied 1st XV team displays all the attributes of a winning combination.

With the earlier games having produced some great running rugby from Wynberg and a never-say-die atttitude from hosts Primrose it was left up to the 1st XV sides to provide a fitting finale to the day at Primrose Rugby Club.

The sides did not disappoint as Primrose surprised with their competence in the forwards in standing up to their much vaunted and heavier opponents. The early exchanges revealed that the hosts were not going to lie down and provided some tense moments as the game see-sawed between the twenty-two meter lines.

April 22, 2012

Wynberg win comfortably against plucky opponents but will rue missed opportunities.

Saturday morning dawned overcast with a persistent cold breeze blowing across the Primrose Rugby Club fields. A portent of things to come perhaps as Wynberg Boys High School stamped their authority on proceedings.

Wynberg's newest rugby side sweep Rondebosch aside with a powerful display.

Wynberg faced tough traditional opponents Rondebosch in their season opener against local schools yesterday at Rondebosch.

Having lost a warm-up game during the week to a touring side from Dubai through a very disjointed performance the u14A boys were determined to prove that they have what it takes to win games.

Wynberg's u14A rugby side falter in their first outing.

Wynberg Boys High School's u14A rugby side took on the Dubai Exiles yesterday on Silverhurst field for their first encounter of the season.

The home side is made up of players from various primary schools making it difficult for coaches and parents to guage the strength of the side. Although the side is richly sprinkled with talented players they will take some time to gel as a unit.

Wynberg u13A enjoy a positive start to the rugby season.

The Wynberg U13A rugby side were invited to attend the King Edwards Easter Festival over the Easter weekend.

The school has built up a good reputation for themselves over the last few years, and this year was no different with the team playing some good attractive running rugby.
