Wynberg go to SACS

It is the oldest school in the country against one that was first founded before it, but Wynberg closed down for a while and so takes 1841 as its foundation date, making it 175 years old this year, a year of celebration, 12 years  younger than SACS.

For SACS and Wynberg this is the big one of each term, signalling the end of the term, its climax. This was to have been a Classic Clash but it has been moved to August when the match will be at Wynberg, the last of the season, a day to celebrate the 175th birthday.
