St John's College is proud to present the teams participating in the 26th St John's College Easter Rugby Festival, proudly sponsored by Standard Bank, as part of our 125th celebrations.
"It gives us great pleasure to welcome all participating teams from around the country to the St John’s College Easter Rugby festival," said Mr Adrian Norris, Master in Charge of Rugby. "The twenty-sixth festival is a very special one as it forms part of the year-long 125th-year celebrations taking place at the school. To the boys competing on the field, good luck, play with your heart on your sleeve and keep in mind who you are representing."
Traditionally, the festival is when old acquaintances are renewed and new friends are made. We hope that all players, officials, parents, and spectators enjoy the high quality of rugby on display throughout the weekend.
The St John's Easter Rugby Festival would not take place each year without the generous and selfless support of our community and the Festival Organising Committee led by Mr Gavin Houlston (Clarke 1991).
We look forward to another year showcasing the best in schoolboy rugby.
