Schools rugby results: Garsfontein, Affies win Noordvaal Cup league games, EG Jansen relegated
The stage is set for play-offs, though EG Jansen have effectively already been relaged to the plate division for next year.
Garsfontein concluded the Noordvaal Cup league games on a nine-game winning streak, whereas EG Jansen's season was marred by relegation to the tournament's lower division. Affies, Monument, and Noordheuwel also claimed victories in their final regular-season matches within the Noordvaal Cup. Meanwhile, top Western Cape schools Boland Landbou and Oakdale engaged in an exhilarating final regular-season encounter, with Boland securing a 40-36 home win over Oakdale, which will positively impact their annual rankings.
EG Jansen, whose players were involved in a fight at Menlopark that went viral the previous week, faced severe consequences. Many of these players received suspensions from the tournament committee, resulting in a devastating 76-5 defeat against Garsfontein. This left EG Jansen with only 197 points, placing them four points behind Waterkloof and effectively leading to their relegation before the play-offs even commence. The Citizens will release all the play-off fixtures on Friday.
