SACS Junior continues to notch up impressive results on the rugby field. Saturday once again included a full programme of games. Here are the results:

This coming Saturday, SACS host Durban Primary, and matches against Rondebosch Prep.

 

The South African College High School (SACS) secured a morale boosting 52-15 win against Bellville-Tech on Saturday. SACS scored eight tries to two on a sunny but chilly morning out in Bellville.

The teams felt each other out for the first ten minutes until SACS were able to break through the Bellville defence for the first time. Flank Tristan Shaw picked up the ball from the side of a ruck inside the opposition 22m-area and burst through the fringe defence for try. Flyhalf Zaahir Joseph converted as he was to do all SACS’s three first half tries.

It soon became apparent that after three phases Bellville’s defence all but fell to pieces and SACS’s next two tries came from patient phase play. The first saw Joseph dart through himself while the second came as the ball was worked wide to right-wing Storm Winter.

Bellville-Tech managed a penalty by Andy Huiseman to leave the score at 21-3 to SACS at the interval.

SACS scored two tries early in the second half to put the result beyond doubt. For the first Jordan Morris burst though from near the halfway line while for the second scrumhalf Manuel Domingues combined well with the loose-forwards from a scrum to free up centre Dean Rees-Gibbs for a well-worked score.

Bellville-Tech showed some fight in the final quarter of the game but by that stage it was too late. They scored when scrumhalf Grant Alexander broke blind from a ruck and again when No. 8 Morne Lucas broke clear from a driving maul.

In between Bellville-Tech’s two tries SACS scored again themselves when Rees-Gibbs weaved through the defence before freeing up left-wing Brendan Rodgers for the score.

Substitute centre Paul Hendry capped off a fine performance by SACS with two tries at the death. The first was a set move from a scrum close to the Bellville-Tech line while the second came when the midfield defence opened up for him. 

SACS will take great heart from this performance and will be looking to build on the many positive when they travel to traditional rivals Rondebosch Boy’s High next Saturday (kick-off 11.30am)

The following results were achieved in matches against Paarl Boys High.

As has been the case almost every Saturday this season the skies opened and warm weather welcomed Paarl Boishaai to the South African College High School (SACS). On the field a rejuvenated SACS team will be kicking themselves for leaking two soft tries just before the interval, which scuppered an otherwise spirited performance. The final score was 41-22 to Boishaai.

SACS started well and were on the scoreboard within the first five minutes. Taking the ball wide, right-wing Storm Winter beat his man and chipped the fullback. Skipper Godfrey Tundube was on hand to dive on the ball and secure a morale boosting score. SACS fed off the positive energy and went straight back on the attack from the kick-off. They were awarded a penalty, which scrumhalf Zaahir Joseph converted.

Behind by eight points Boishaai were stung into action and began applying some pressure of their own. The Boishaai outside backs in particular looking full of running and they regularly stretched the SACS cover. Unable to breach a resolute SACS defence Boishaai had to be content with two penalties by their Craven Week flyhalf Gavin Hauptfleisch.

Five minutes before the halftime interval SACS made two costly errors, which handed the momentum to Boishaai. First they lost a lineout five yards from their line. Boishaai secured the ball but knocked on under the SACS posts. SACS made a hash of the ensuing scrum and Boishaai tight-head prop Nicolaas van Dyk dived on the loose ball and scored. Hauptfleisch converted from in front.

It was two minutes before halftime when SACS gathered the ball from the kick-off. They ran the ball wide but dropped it. Boishaai speedster Devon Williams picked the ball up and raced fifty metres for the score. Hauptfleisch was again on target and SACS’s 8-6 lead had been turned into a 20-8 deficit in no time.

Boishaai extended their lead soon after the break thanks to a thrilling counter attack try, which was finished off by centre Heinrich Boje. SACS then built the phases and struck back with a good try of their own. Flyhalf Ryan van Rensburg making a good break before feeding Winter who went over in the corner. Joseph converted from wide out to make the score 27-15 to Boishaai.

Right-wing Leon le Roux was next in on the act as Boishaai attacked wide from a scrum inside the SACS 22m-area. The ball went through the hands and after being held up in midfield Boishaai got the ball away for le Roux to score. Directly from the kick-off Boishaai tried to go wide only for Tundube to intercept and get his second try.

Another silly mistake by SACS cost them another soft try. They were charged down and one phase later Hauptfleisch darted over for the final score of the game. He converted his own try for a personal tally of twenty-one points on the day.  

After a poor first half of the season SACS can take many positives from the game while Boishaai, although happy with the win, will know they need to improve on their performance if they are to beat Gimnasium in two weeks time.
