Independent Schools kick off

The Indepenedent Schools Rugby Festival started at Michaelhouse on Wednesday.

There were some great encounters, not least the rollicking manin match between Michaelhouse and Bishops which produced 66 points and a convincing victory for the home side.

The Festival, which happens every two years, is going ahead even though players chosen for National Weeks - Craven Week, Academy Week and Grant Khomo Week - will not be available.
