Kearsney College saw off Dale College 34-13 to win the fifth game of Day 2, in front of a large and vocal crowd with supporters for both teams.
The hosts were beaten 24-29 by Hoërskool Dr EG Jansen on Thursday. The Eastern Cape side were coming off the back of a 66-22 loss at the hands of Hoërskool Durbanville, but it was the former that managed to return to winning ways, thanks to some clinical finishing.
Grant Bashford’s boys scored both of their opening tries through clever use of cross-kicks, with the first finished off by Lwandle Mkhize on the lefthand touchline and midfielder Keanu Williamson scoring the other out wide on the right.
Doan Nel crashed over less than a minute before halftime to take the score out to 24-3, with Inga Mafanga having pulled three-points back for the visitors, courtesy of a successful penalty attempt.
Nhlanhla Ndlovu scored Kearsney’s first of the second-half, before Valentino Lenge added another to all but end the match as a contest.
Dale crossed for their first try after loosehead Phawu Ludwaba rumbled his way over, and they struck again moments later through second rower Ebenezer Sarpong, but by then they were too far back to mount a serious comeback.
