Schools rugby: Grey battle past Affies, Transvalia triumph, KZN action heats up
Grey College fought back from 10-0 down to beat Affies in Bloemfontein, while Paul Roos held off a spirited Boland Landbou. Affies made a dream start thanks to fullback Lamond Baatjies and flyhalf Ruben Groenewald, before a yellow card for a cynical foul helped Grey get back into the game. Tries by fullback Lamla Mgedezi, outside centre Ethan Adams and No 8 Adem Nieuwoudt saw the hosts lead 21-17 at half-time. Adams and Mgedezi scored again in a second half that Grey dominated, before Affies finished strongly with two late tries. However, Grey fully deserved their 42-37 victory and their pack most of the plaudits for subduing Affies' highly-rated forwards. Watch the highlights: In the Western Cape, Paul Roos won a high-scoring thriller at Boland Landbou 40-36, Rondebosch claimed a convincing 40-17 win at SACS, and hosts Wynberg made Paarl Boys' work hard for a 32-26 victory. At the Sharks Schools Rugby Day at Hilton College on Friday, the hosts hammered Glenwood 55-15, DHS defeated Kearsney 42-20 and Westville edged Maritzburg College 22-21. Meanwhile, in Vanderbijlpark, the SDC Noordvaal Cup Division match between Hoërskool Transvalia and Hoërskool Dr. E.G. Jansen ended in victory for Transvalia. Vaalweekblad reports that one of the team's weapons was its seven-flank Daniel Kazambo, who scored three tries.
