It is a great pleasure for Maritzburg College to host the Skonk Nicholson Rugby Festival for U16 and U14 players, and to welcome 20 teams from around the country, and their supporters, to our campus.
We sincerely hope that everyone who participate or spectate will enjoy all that is great in schoolboy sport, viz. the camaraderie, team-spirit, passion, commitment and sportsmanship.
These were all noble ideals fostered in his rugby teams over 35 seasons by the late Mr Nicholson himself – ones of which we today need to be more mindful than ever.

Jesse Kriel U11 & U13 Rugby Festival
2026-04-01 - 2026-04-04 | Maritzburg College, 51 College Road, Pietermartizburg
It is a great pleasure for Maritzburg College to host the Jesse Kriel Rugby Festival, and to welcome players and coaches from the 18 schools as well as their supporters to our campus.
Jesse Kriel (OC 2008–2012) is a name that needs little introduction in South African rugby.
As a proud product of Maritzburg College, Jesse’s natural athleticism, fierce determination, and deep rugby intelligence were evident from the moment he first pulled on the Red, Black and White jersey.
It was here, within these walls and on these fields, that his foundation was laid – one built on tradition, excellence, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
It is only fitting that the school’s beloved u11 and u13 rugby festival, formerly the Skonk Nicholson Junior Rugby Festival, now bears the name of Jesse Kriel.
In honouring him, we not only celebrate a world-class athlete, but also inspire the next generation of rugby stars – young boys chasing their dreams, just as Jesse once did, right here at College.
Once a College boy, always a College boy.
