KEARSNEY FESTIVAL RESULT DAY 2, MATCH 4
HOERSKOOL RUSTENBURG 0 – 45 DHS
Durban High School (DHS) scored six tries in a 45-0 rout of Hoërskool Rustenburg in the fourth game of the second day of play.
A few unforced errors notwithstanding, DHS produced another confident and composed performance, buoyed by an impressive defensive display and ferocious physicality in contact. They are yet to ship a single point this week and will be favourites to see off Pearson High School on the final day’s play, to remain unbeaten.
Rusties, who were beaten 26-25 by Worcester Gimnasium on Day 1, succumbed again, despite some strong moments on defence. They’ll search for improvement against Rondebosch Boys’ High on the final day, as they look to bag their first win at the festival.
Aka Boqwana kicked an early penalty for the local boys before a powerful driving maul saw captain Mahle Sithole grab his second try of the weekend. Eighth man Khanisa Stamper added the Horseflies’ second after a strong run from a well-worked quick tap made it 17-0 at half-time.
In truth, DHS never really looked like conceding, and scored further tries through Adriano Jackson (two), Zenkosi Mthiyane and José Lottering, with a flawless goal kicking performance by Boqwana adding further gloss to the scoreline.
