Result of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival, Day 2 Match 2 Report
HOëRSKOOL FRAMESBY 45 – 19 PETERHOUSE BOYS’ SCHOOL
Hoërskool Framesby secured a comfortable 45-19 win over Peterhouse Boys’ School in the second match of Day 2.
Both sides were searching for their first victory of KERF after the Gqeberha boys were put to the sword in a 0-31 drubbing by Westville, while the Zimbabwean school had suffered an 18-34 defeat to Milnerton in their opener on Thursday.
The teams showed plenty of positive attacking intent in the first half, with Peterhouse flyhalf James Watt breaking the deadlock with a converted try 15 minutes in. Wian Holtzhausen hit back soon thereafter to level it for Framesby, before captain Eden Calitz put them in front thanks to a strong carry from close range.
Peterhouse were made to rue a second unsuccessful Watt penalty attempt when a superb Calestin Felkers break and pop off the deck allowed Mondre van Heerden to collect and dive over under the sticks.
The scrumhalf sniped over for his second not long thereafter to make it 26-7 at the interval.
The tourists were arguably better than the scoreline suggests, but their inability to execute the basics at crucial moments let them down in the end.
Framesby picked up where they left off after halftime, extending their lead with Holtzhausen’s second. Tries by flying fullback Munashe Masamha and Andrew Maringa narrowed the deficit for the boys in white, but two ensuing Jaco George tries, off the back of more Peterhouse errors, proved to be the final nail.
