Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival. Glenwood High School overcame a valiant Dale College defensive effort to claim a 33-12 victory in the second game of the final day’s play at Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival.
Day 3 – Match 2
The result ensured the KZN outfit leave Botha’s Hill unbeaten after a draw with Hoërskool Monument and narrow win over Milnerton High School on the first two days. Dale meanwhile showed huge improvement in their third outing, following earlier defeats to Hoërskool Durbanville and hosts Kearsney College, and will be proud of how they fared against their much-fancied opponents.
For all of Glenwood’s territorial dominance throughout the game, they also struggled to break Dale down. The boys from the East Cape defended their hearts out in their own half and living off scraps.
Lesedi Khumalo scored first up for Glenwood before Milani Madide was on hand to finish off an 80m scorcher for the Daleians completely against the run of play.
Inga Mafanga had a penalty opportunity to put his side in front with just over three minutes of the first half-hour remaining. He unfortunately pulled it wide. Then the Green Machine carried on to score through second rower Tylo Madaat to take a 14-5 lead into halftime.
A Kungawo Jaca smash and grab brought Dale to within two points early in the second-half, but further Glenwood tries through Lizwe Mtetwa and Lian Lochner (twice) all but sealed the deal.
