The 2014 Sasol Noordvaal Bondedag will be held at the DP de Villiers Stadium in Sasolburg on Saturday, 28 June 2014. 10 of the 20 teams to participate in the 2014 Craven week for high schools during July, will be in action on the day.

“Sasol is proud to sponsor the Noordvaal Bondedag in Sasolburg for the first time since 1992 as the sponsorship is in line with Sasol’s key priority to further sport aimed at local talent development,” says Sasol Senior Vice President, Sasolburg Operations, Louis Fourie.

The Sasol Noordvaal Bondedag creates an ideal platform for individuals from various schools to hone their game skills as a team ahead of the Craven Week.

The main match of the day will be between the hosts, Valke, and the Pumas. However, the clash between the Free State and Blou Bulle also promises to be a spectacular game.

Several of South Africa’s top high school rugby players will be in action, including some of the stars of the gold medal winning Under-18 Sevens team at the African Youth Games in Botswana on 27 May this year. Spectators can keep an eye out for Blou Bulle Eduan Keyter and PJ Toerien, Tshepiso Mahasa from Limpopo Blou Bulle and local rugby hero, Marco Janse van Vuuren who plays for the Valke.
