A powerful display from Hoer Landbouskool Marlow earned them a comfortable 30-15 win over Worcester Gimnasium.
While Worcester’s ball in hand play was as electric as ever, their chances were few and far between and they battled to hang onto possession for any meaningful period of time.
Marlow played with bucket-loads of intensity from the get-go and it wasn’t long before Steyn Foley went over off the back of a powerful driving maul.
Worcester were struggling to match the physicality of the Cradock boys, and two Gideon Jordaan penalties extended Marlow’s lead to give them a 13-point buffer at the break.
The boys in blue were finally rewarded for their silky offloading when Alton Hendricks went over for their first points of the day, while a penalty from the boot of the ever-dependable Carick Kustoor brought them to within three.
But further tries to front rankers JR Boffa, Robert van Zyl and flyhalf Aiden de Villiers effectively ended the match as a contest.
Worcester Gim’s Hope Dliso scored a consolation effort thereafter, but it was too little too late. It was a dominant performance from Marlow during the rugby game, ending with a comprehensive win to Marlow!
