Day 3 – Match 3
Hoërskool Dr EG Jansen edged out Hoërskool Framesby 22-20 on the third day, Match 3.
After a Day 1 defeat to Westville Boys’ High, the Gqeberha boys were looking to build on their victory over Peterhouse Boys’ High on the second day, while Egies were out to return to winning ways, having followed up their opening defeat of Kearsney College with a loss, also at the hands of Westville.
The first half saw the lead change hands several times, with neither side enjoying a clear advantage, but as things slowed down in the second-half, EG Jansen took control and ultimately held out to seal the result.
Framesby sharpshooter Miles Feltham broke the deadlock with a penalty a few minutes in before hooker Marco Ventura replied for EG Jansen off the back of a rolling maul.
A nifty Jaco George grubber and re-gather put Framesby back in front, before Jordan van der Westhuizen finished off in the corner to level matters.
Feltham nudged over another three-pointer thereafter, but Ventura completed his brace after EG Jansen went back to their brutal maul game to take a 17-13 lead into halftime, with Deshean Pietersen crucially extending that lead immediately after the resumption.
George scored his second with three-minutes remaining, to reduce the deficit to two points but the team from Boksburg held on to claim an important win.
