Stellenberg beat Grey College for the first time ever — a 26-21 victory that capped a remarkable week for the Jade Brigade, who had also beaten Paarl Gimnasium earlier in the season. Two major scalps in one year is no small thing. Grey dominated the opening exchanges but Stellenberg's defence held firm until the Bloemfontein backs struck from a Stellenberg up-and-under. Lamla Mgedezi laid the groundwork and Jonathan Drysdale finished brilliantly to put Grey ahead. It looked like the script was following its familiar path — Grey College, founded in 1855 and one of South Africa's most decorated school rugby programmes, were in control. Stellenberg hit back almost immediately through the driving maul and scored a second the same way to lead 12-7. Grey converted two penalties late in the half to edge back in front, and it was Grey College 13 – Stellenberg 12 at the break. The Jade Brigade — from Bellville in the Western Cape, celebrating only their 40th year as a school in 2026 — were behind. Everything was still to play for. The second half was equally tight. Stellenberg's captain and eighthman Yanos Molnar led the physical charge with relentless carries and dominant work at the breakdown. Ralton Rhode crossed to put Stellenberg back in front, and Seth Coetze grounded the ball after another unstoppable rolling effort that Grey's defence simply could not contain. The scoreboard ticked over to 26-16 and Stellenberg appeared to be closing in on a memorable result. Grey College, however, are not a side that accepts defeat easily. In the 67th minute, Mgedezi produced another moment of individual quality, holding two defenders before releasing a precise offload for JG Horn, who had the relatively straightforward task of finishing in the corner. At 26-21 with the clock winding down, the contest was far from settled. With a minute remaining, Stellenberg dug deep. Grey threw everything forward in search of a match-winning score, but the Stellenberg defensive line held its shape and its nerve, repelling wave after wave of attacks until the final siren sounded. The celebrations that followed told their own story. The Jade Brigade had done the impossible — twice in one season. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 – Kick-off 35:35 – Half Time (Grey 13 – Stellenberg 12) 35:59 – 1st Half highlights 37:22 – Second half Kick off 1:12:54 – Full Time — History Made 1:13:49 – 2nd Half Highlights (Adjust timestamps to match your actual footage) 🔍 Match Details 🏆 Tournament: NMI Toyota Noord/Suid Rugby Tournament 2026 (12th Edition) 🏟️ Venue: Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies) Veld A, Pretoria 📅 Date: Tuesday, 31 March 2026 (Day 4 — Final Day) 📊 Result: Stellenberg 26 – Grey College 21 Stellenberg Scorers: Tries: Yanos Molnar, Ralton Rhode, Seth Coetze, Penalty Try Conversions: Ethan van Biljon (2) Grey College Scorers: Tries: Jonathan Drysdale, JG Horn Conversion: Christoff Crous (1) Penalties: Christoff Crous (3) Grey College vs Stellenberg | Noord Suid 2026 | School Rugby South Africa Looking for the Grey College vs Stellenberg 2026 highlights?
