The U16 B team put together one of our stronger performances of the season against Landbou, on Saturday morning. We started off well with a well-worked try from Wayne van Niekerk within the first 10 minutes, thanks to some good go-forward ball provided by the forwards and some straight running in the backline. But, we spent the rest of the first half in our own half, with the opposition flyhalf keeping us under pressure with some good kicking. We struggled to regain momentum and conceded a penalty on the stroke of half time to make the score 5-3.
We found ourselves one point behind early in the second half, after conceding another penalty. We then, after a crucial period of attacking play, kicked over a penalty of our own to make it 8-6 to us. With four minutes to go, we secured the win with a classic try from Baden Stevens.
All in all, a unified performance – resulting in a satisfying 13-6 victory.
