THE curtain comes down on the Dairibord Schools Rugby Festival this afternoon with some intriguing contests lined up between the country’s schoolboy rugby powerhouses at Prince Edward School this afternoon.
SPORTS REPORTER
Hosts Prince Edward, who have been impressive so far, will be hoping to maintain their perfect record when they clash against Peterhouse in the final match of the day at the Jubilee Field.
Peterhouse are also yet to taste defeat in the six-day tournament which kicked off on Monday and this should set-up a befitting end to what has been a breathtaking week of schoolboy rugby.
In other matches to look out for today, St John’s College will be hoping to bounce back from Thursday’s mauling at the hands of the PE Tigers when they come up against a well-drilled Eaglesvale side.
The Cyprian Mandenge-coached Eaglesvale side won the admiration of the fans on Thursday after upstaging Churchill, who finish their campaign today with another tough match against St George’s College.
The rugby fiesta broke new ground this year under the new sponsorship from Dairibord Zimbabwe Private Limited.
The rise of girls’ rugby was one of the success stories of the 2014 Dairibord Schools Rugby Festival with schools such as Eaglesvale, Vainona and Harare Girls High putting on splendid performances.
