Results: Kearsney Easter Festival Day 2 Match 4 Report
WESTVILLE BOYS’ HIGH 36-5 HOëRSKOOL DR EG JANSEN
Westville Boys’ High School’s supreme tactical awareness powered them to a 36-5 win over Hoërskool Dr EG Jansen in the fourth game of Day 2.
Egies had narrowly knocked over hosts Kearsney College 29-24 on the first day, while the KZN side cantered to a 31-0 opening win over Hoërskool Framesby, with many expecting this one to be a tightly-fought affair. As it happened, the Boksburg team struggled to play in the right areas and were often pinned back in their own half by the local provincial team.
Westville started like a house on fire, scoring within 30 seconds after fullback Zekhethelo Siyaya tore away down the right flank. An impressive lineout drive saw Brandon Eke go over to extend their lead, but EG Jansen retaliated through Craig Lightfoot.
Possession traded hands on a number of occasions before WBHS managed to finish off another chance out wide through left wing speedster Avumile Lisa.
Unlike that of their counterparts, Westville’s tactical kicking continually put them in promising field positions, with Siyaya executing two immaculate 50/22s in the first half alone to keep the pressure on EG Jansen.
Jade-Will Koopman was on hand to add two more tries to the Westville tally before the break, showing some exceptional acrobatics to complete his brace in the right-hand corner from a cross-kick in one of the tries of the festival so far.
EG Jansen were unable to make the most of their chances in the second-half, with Phumula Xulu scoring to seal a comfortable win.
