Hoërskool Waterkloof vs Hoërskool Monument

Hoërskool Monument (Monnas) will play Hoërskool Waterkloof on Saturday, August  12 at Hoërskool Waterkloof in Pretoria in the tenth derby in the Premier Interschools series for the year and promises to be a match of high intensity.

While Monnas and Waterkloof’s regular Interschools only started in 1996, this has become one of the most eagerly anticipated matches on the schoolboy rugby calendar given the rich rugby history and heritage of these schools. Both schools are consistently among the top rugby schools in the country. They don’t get to play each other on a regular basis due to the different competition structures within the North Vaal region, but when they do get the opportunity, it is usually a highly entertaining match.  Monument has the slight advantage in victories since 2005 with eight out of 13 matches and Waterkloof being on the victorious side five times..

Monument has had a busy season so far playing 17 games in all. They had very good early wins over Paul Roos and Boland Landbou, but seem to blow hot and cold sometimes. They had disappointing losses against Welkom Gimnasium and Jeppe and should have clinched both those matches. It seems as if they are gaining momentum in the Noordvaal Cup competition and after a very close game against Garsfontein they have won their last two matches comfortably.

  1. The highest-scoring international rugby player of all time is New Zealand’s Dan Carter, who amassed a total of 1,598 points throughout his illustrious career.

  2. Cricket became an Olympic sport in 1896. However, no matches were held because there was an insufficient number of teams who attended. Had the sport been played that year, cricket would have earned the distinction of being the only team sport to be played at the time. The first Olympic match in the next Olympics (1900) was participated in by the men’s teams. Great Britain (represented by the Devon and Somerset Wanderers) won gold.
