After an absence of 7 years, Premier Interschools again showcases the great Pretoria derby as their second last match of the season. Affies turned 100 years old last year and this match could not be played. This year it could prove to be one of the great derbies matches for the season. A rivalry that dates back nearly a century (98 years), one of the great interschools events on the South African schoolboy rugby calendar takes place with Affies hosting Pretoria Boys. The two teams first encounter was back in 1923 following Affies’ formation in 1920 from the original Pretoria Boys High. They played each other three times in that first year with the first match seen as the “official” interschools game which Boys High won. The last 10 years Affies had the better of Pretoria Boys winning nine of the matches, but in 2019 the Pretoria Boys pulled a rabbit out of a hat heading into the fixture as the underdogs, won the game. Boys High will be hoping to repeat that while Affies will be looking for a good way to celebrates their 101st year.
