Dale vs Port Rex Down the Years

On Saturday at the Buffalo City Municipal Stadium in East London, Dale College of King William's Town play Port Rex Technical High School as part of the Border Schools Day.

The history of the fixture between Dale and Port Rex dates back-1937.

It is very important-go back-this date as the beginning of the fixtures as that was in the days of the East London Technical High School.

That school was directly opposite Selborne College.

First XV Games against EL Tech were played on the Border Rugby Union Grounds, which has changed names till it has become the Buffalo City Municipal Stadium, and most of the lower sides played on the then Show Ground Fields behind Clarendon Girls High School.

The East London Technical College cameto an end at the end of 1973. From 1974 "The Tech" became Port Rex and moved-the present site that was previously De la Salle College.
