Rugby: Sponsors rescue Quteniqua’s visit to Grey in Bloemfontein

# Rugby: Next month’s schools’ clash between hosts Grey College and Outiniqua will go ahead after sponsors were secured to take the George teams and officials to Bloemfontein. The fixture was reportedly on the brink of cancellation because Outeniqua couldn’t afford the travel costs of 1,4-million-rand for the return trip of over one-thousand-400 kilometre. Grey’s headmaster, Braam van Wyk, warns economic pressures because of high fuel prices may force schools to rethink their interschool fixtures and tours. The match is scheduled for August 8.
