Friday’s Villager Schools Sevens Tournament was postponed at the quarter-final stage after horrific weather in Cape Town resulted in the conditions becoming too unsafe to play.
The quarter-finals will now take place on Saturday 8th September at Villagers Rugby Club from 10:00am as a curtain raiser to the Super League 1 match between Villager and Tygerberg.
The eight schools who will contest the quarter-finals are:
Bishops
Rondebosch
SACS
Wynberg
Tableview
Jan Van Riebeeck
Temperance
Fish Hoek
It was the first time in 39 years that the tournament was called off.
The rain started on Friday morning and got progressively worse through the course of the day. It rained harder, temperatures dropped and the wind reached near gale force conditions. The Sportsmans Warehouse gazebos were blown over, flags and pop up banners were uprooted and the field became a swimming pool!
