While the under-14s, 15s and 18s took a break on Sunday at the 2026 ISRF, brought to you by Absa, the under-13 teams had their chance to shine, with five games taking place up on the St David’s Marist Inanda Prep

The 2026 Independent Schools Rugby Festival (ISRF), brought to you by Absa, kicked off in chilly early morning conditions at St David’s Marist Inanda on Saturday. More than 1200 players and 300 coaches were in action with, for the first time, the prep festival and all three college age categories: U14, U15 and U17 taking place at the same venue. 

The 1st team were recently at the St Stithians Festival. They played 5 matches, winning 4 and losing 1. They scored 20 goals overall and only conceded 5, with Milan Stipcevich leading the way with 6 goals...

St David's Marist Inanda had teams across all age groups playing over the Easter Festival period. The u14 and u15's were at Michaelhouse in the KZN Midlands where they played against the hosts and teams from Zimbabwe and KZN, respectively. The 1st XV was at the St John's Festival. In the first fixture, Kingswood College taught us lessons in simplicity, accuracy and finishing while we as a group were off the pace in more than a few areas...

The 2026 winter sports season began with energy and pride as St David's Marist Inanda hosted its first Home Derby Day of the year against St Stithians College, welcoming players, families and supporters to a vibrant morning of school sport.

On Friday the 27th we hosted a conversation about something every single one of our has faced: Setbacks. Whether in sports, academics, friendships or personal goals, we all know what it feels like when things don’t go our way.

The Independent Schools October mid-term break is synonymous with the St David’s Marist Inanda Summer Sports Festival. It is massive gathering of school sportsmen, participating in three summer codes: basketball, water polo and cricket.
