If you thought that granny snot-klapping a young rugby player during the under-19 Bishops Diocesan College and the South African College High School (SACS) game last week was the worst of iffy field brawls, consider yourself wrong.

Yep, yet another Cape Town school rugby derby ended in violent scenes after a fistfight broke out between Milnerton and Melkbosstrand High School players during the highly anticipated inter-school match on Saturday.

This really lends itself towards the growing trend towards violence and poor sportsmanship at school sports events.

Cape Argus notes that ‘Millies’ and ‘Melkies’ take each other on for chuffed rights across a bunch of sporting codes, but following Melkbosstrand’s 12-0 victory over Milnerton in the under-16 rugby match at the weekend, all hell was let loose.

The scuffle, caught on camera, shows a Milnerton player marching up to an opposing oke who was crouched on the ground with another player. The Millies player then gives the boy a proper skop from behind before dishing out a few klaps and booting him in the head. This sets off the other players, and soon, a massive fistfight erupts on the field.
