ORGANISERS of the 2025 Unforgettable Milton Rugby Festival have said that all is in place for the eagerly anticipated two-day schoolboy fiesta, which is scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Hartsfield Rugby Grounds.
The eagerly awaited tournament will see 15 schools drawn across the country meet at the home of rugby for what promises to be an enthralling schoolboy rugby fiesta.
Each school will field two teams, an Under-16 and first team. Among the participants, Prince Edward is a notable new entry and the Tigers will debut at the tournament. Notably, there will also be girls’ teams competing at this year’s event, adding to the excitement.
Milton Boys High teacher-in-charge of rugby and tournament organiser, Lovemore Mangwiro, said they are looking forward to exciting action which will set the pace for the schoolboy rugby season nationwide.
Mangwiro said everything has gone according to plan and what’s left is for the boys and girls to showcase their talents on the field of play.
“All is in place, and we are ready for Friday and Saturday. It’s going to be massive. Our preparations have gone well and we have made sure that everything runs smoothly without any disruptions and as you saw during the recently ended Under-20 league, Hartsfield is in good condition.
“Once again, this year we will also have girls’ teams as we aim to offer equal opportunities for everyone to showcase their talents. You will never know who is watching in the terraces, so I call on all players to give their all,” said Mangwiro.
