Good sides keep on winning and Grey college of Bloemfontein are a great side, winning this FNB Classic Clash 36-35 against Paul Roos Gymnasium at Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch on Saturday.
Obviously, it was a match which could have gone either way - 71 points in 70 minutes and it was won in the last minute when Grey scored the winning try.
Of course, Paul Roos were brave as they fought back against the red card early in the second half for a tip tackle by Michal Haznar
Each year, it seems, there are complaints about the referee when these two sides meet, and it was no different this year as the Paul Roos supporters felt harshly treated by the red card.
The miserable side of the match apart, it was thrilling and there was courage and so much for the two schools to be proud of.
There was not just rugby but also hockey, golf, tennis, tabletennis, squash, waterpolo and cycling.
