Glenwood High’s well-structured approach was enough to see off Dale College in a 19-7 win.
Though Dale thrived in the loose, they were starved of opportunities by a disciplined Glenwood line-up. Still, the Eastern Cape boys defended manfully at times and did well to shut down a number of attacking chances from the Durbanites.
It was a scrappy old affair in the opening exchanges, but Glenwood remained patient before opening their account through Okonta Chijindu. They were rewarded for a well-worked lineout drive when hooker Ntokozo Ndwalane got their second on the stroke of half-time to make it 12-0.
Dale hit back with a converted effort by Lindokuhle Xozwa but a superb gather and score by Chijindu from the ensuing kick-off swung the momentum right back in Glenwood’s favour.
Possession and territory traded hands several times thereafter, but the Green Machine hung on for the win.What a fantastic display of skill and determination from both teams!
