The first Saturday of the school holidays saw St Charles College come alive as the annual Saints 7s Festival welcomed thirty-seven U11 and U13 rugby teams from across KwaZulu-Natal for a memorable day of fast-paced action and outstanding sportsmanship.

From the opening whistle to the final match, the fields were alive with energy as players showcased their skill, speed, and teamwork in the exciting sevens format. The festival provided young players with the opportunity to test themselves against quality opposition while creating friendships and memories that will last long after the final game. Off the field, the vibrant atmosphere was equally impressive. Music echoed across the campus, braais sizzled throughout the day, and families, coaches, and supporters gathered to enjoy everything the festival had to offer. The combination of competitive rugby and a welcoming community spirit made for a truly special occasion.

Events such as the Saints 7s Festival are about far more than results. They celebrate participation, foster a love for the game, and bring together schools from across the province in the spirit of friendship and healthy competition. St Charles College extends its sincere thanks to every participating school, player, coach, referee, volunteer, and supporter who contributed to the success of the festival. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another outstanding day of rugby. – Mr Matthew Coombes (Head of Prep Sport)
