Kearsney Easter Festival: Day 3 Match 5 report
WESTVILLE BOYS’ HIGH 24-17 HOERSKOOL RUSTENBURG
Westville Boys’ High School won their third game of KERF thanks to a 24-17 defeat of Hoërskool Rustenburg in the penultimate game of the festival.
Having won the award for playing the most attractive rugby at the closing ceremony earlier in the day, the KZN outfit were high on confidence and duly delivered another solid performance to match local rivals Durban High School’s (DHS) 100%-win record over the weekend.
Rustenburg finish their campaign with just the solitary win they picked up on Day 2 against Hoërskool Durbanville, having started slowly in a big defeat to DHS in their first game of the festival.
Quickfire tries through Lwandle Makhanya and Avumile Lisa pushed WBHS out to a 12-0 lead early on, but Tristan Myburgh crashed over to reduce the deficit for Rusties.
Ross Calvert scored his side’s third a little before the break to extend the Westville lead, and it took Rustenburg until 10 minutes into the second half to reply, when Thian Labuschagne barged his way over.
With 10 minutes left on the clock, Ayden Willemse sank a penalty to level matters for the boys in green and orange, but Luxolo Sononkonkono had the last say with the winning try for Westville minutes later.
