St Kevin's College is due to play Waitaki Boys' High School for the 86th time next Friday.
But principal Paul Olsen has told the Otago Daily Times a group of about 30 former Waitaki Boys' pupils entered St Kevin's grounds on Wednesday night.
Police say an altercation ensued between St Kevin's pupils and the group, resulting in a teenager being admitted to hospital with "relatively serious injuries"
They say the injured man was neither a school pupil nor from Oamaru.
The previous night another person has also trespassed on to the St Kevin's precinct, vandalising property and "traumatising" staff families.
