When Paarl Gimnasium took on South African College High School (SACS) in the final of the Hibbert Shield, in May, in Gqeberha, they were on the receiving end of a 6-3 hiding. That loss came on the back of some strong results from coach Jacques “Stevo” Grobler‘s team, who swept past their opponents until they met SACS. They drove back to the Western Cape with their silver medals draped proudly around their necks. A week later, they were called into action against Paul Roos Gimnasium.

Western Province, Southern Gauteng A, Boland, and KZN Inland are among the teams expected to make their mark at the SASHOC National Week but don’t rule out Eastern Province (EP). The Eastern Cape boys will arrive at the tournament, which will be hosted by Maritzburg College from 30 June to 5 July, with absolutely nothing to lose but a point to prove. They haven’t enjoyed much success in recent year. In fact, EP has failed to finish in the top five for four years running.

“Coming second best” and “almost winning it” have been the stories for the Boland u18A team at the past two SASHOC National Weeks. In 2023, they narrowly missed out on a bronze medal after going down 0-1 against KZN Coastal A. A year later, they claimed the silver medals after falling 2-3 to Western Province in the final. While there was a massive improvement in 2024, Boland is aiming to take it up a notch in 2025 and finally break their inter-provincial title drought.

In a close and heated contest, they defeated Inland A 3-2. That triumph was the start of something special for the men in blue and white.
