DAY 1, MATCH 6
WESTVILLE BOYS’ 10 – 31 RONDEBOSCH BOYS’
Some classy free-flowing rugby played in the wet elevated Rondebosch Boys’ High School to a convincing 31-10 win over Westville Boys’ High in the final game of Day 1.
In constant drizzle, Rondebosch displayed superior tactical awareness and execution to claim a comfortable victory in what may otherwise have been a very tight game. Westville had their moments, but were simply unable to match the calibre of their opponents on the day.
An Unathi Mlotshwa penalty got WBHS off the mark, but it wasn’t long before the Western Cape side hit back after a sparkling line-break and offload by Alutha Wesi put Ewan Lawrie away under the sticks.
Randall John Davids scored another for the festival debutants, who seemed to be breaking the Westville defensive line at will, before the superb David Simon slotted a penalty to extend the lead.
Zekhethelo Siyaya showed great finishing ability to dot the ball down in-goal and haul Westville back to within seven at the break, but the writing was on the wall.
As conditions continued to deteriorate in the second-half, Rondebosch assumed full control of the contest and never really looked like missing out on the win.
Tries converted by Travis van den Berg and Caleb Belelie were the only scores after the break, as Rondebosch eased home.
