St John’s College and King Edward VII School (KES) will make the almost 400km trip to Bloemfontein for what promises to be four enthralling encounters against the Free State’s leading teams, Grey College and St Andrew’s School. over the weekend,
Back in Johannesburg, St David’s Marist Inanda will host Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies), while St Stithians College jousts with Noordheuwel. Jeppe High School for Boys will play their third match of the week against St Benedict’s College.
St John’s heads to the Free State capital on a high, after securing a 43-run win over Parktown Boys’ High on Wednesday in the Johnny Waite T20 competition.
Coach Bongani Ntini’s side is the tournament’s defending champion – they beat St Stithians by 21 runs in the 2024 final – and they will be aiming to go back-to-back this year. Their victory against Parktown came on the back of a 35-run win over Jeppe.
St John’s has a Saturday morning appointment with St Andrew’s on Vossie’s Field and will travel a short distance to Grey College on Sunday. KES plays the reverse of St John’s fixtures. They tackle Grey College on Saturday and then go up against St Andrew’s on Sunday.
Jeppe will chase a hat-trick of victories within four days when they cross swords with St Benedict’s on Saturday. Should they pull it off, it would be their second victory over Bennies within the week.
Coach Casey Arnold‘s side cruised against St Benedict’s on Wednesday, walloping them by 101 runs in a Johnny Waite clash. They added a 44-run thrashing of Randburg in another Johnny Waite encounter on Thursday. The format on Sunday will change from T20 to a 50-over-a-side contest, which will present the teams with a different challenge.
St David’s gave their team a breather after their pre-season sojourn to Makhanda, where they took part in the Makhanda Cricket Festival. Coach Jeff Levin’s side returned to Gauteng on a positive note, after scoring more victories than losses. They will be keen to replicate their exceptional performance against Pearson at the Makhanda Festival, which saw them to a massive 181-run victory, when they face off against a talented and skilled Affies side on Saturday.
Noordheuwel started the year with a victory over Northcliff in a low-scoring encounter. Coach Donald Dinake‘s side navigated a tricky pitch to post an unassailable total and will head into their Saturday encounter with a positive mindset after a Johnny Waite win on Wednesday. Their opposition, St Stithians, went down to Helpmekaar in a Johnny Waite match on the same day. Saints, coached by Lazarus Mokoena will be focussed on avoiding consecutive defeats.
It’s a tasty fixture list between top teams, with the results difficult to predict. Spectators, though, should be the winners.

Saturday: St Andrew’s vs St John’s, Grey College vs KES, St David’s vs Affies, Noordheuwel vs St Stithians, Jeppe vs St Benedict’s.
