Senior Rugby Graeme College Rugby Day: Thursday March 14, the U15 rugby team played Mary Waters. We lost the match 26-17. It was a tough match, but the team showed huge amounts of character and promise for the season ahead. Try scorers were Lilitha Gobane, Sibahle Simani and Olwam Zomani and the conversion was executed by Alutho Ziqulewa.

Friday March 15, PAHS first team lost to the Graeme College seconds 19-12.

There was an unfortunate incident (luckily not involving PAHS or its supporters) which has gone viral on social media. This is an opportune reminder that we as players, teachers, parents, and supporters must never become involved.

The referee, as the appointed official, is qualified to deal with issues that arise on the field.
