The Golden Lions<\/strong> kept their unbeaten record intact on the penultimate day of the annual u13 Craven Week<\/strong> in Krugersdorp with an impressive victory of 32-27 over Western Province.<\/p>\n Their Nr. 8, Ruan Bester<\/strong>, was superb in defence and with the ball in hand. He was supported well by his captain and tighthead prop, Llewellyn Lourens<\/strong>, as well as lock Hanko van Geelen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This was only Western Province’s second defeat since 2013. The losing side’s outside centre, Xavier Cleophas<\/strong>, as well as the flanker Samuel Cross<\/strong>, could feel happy with their performances.<\/p>\n For the Lions their fullback, Ruan Mulder<\/strong>, scored an excellent try. Mulder is the son of former Springbok centre, Japie Mulder<\/strong>, who was part of the World Cup-winning team of 1995. The Lions’ flyhalf, Ethan Kruger<\/strong>, is the son of former Lions, Sharks, and Griquas flyhalf, Herkie Kruger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n More to follow…<\/p>\n Scorers:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Golden Lions 32 (13) –<\/strong> Tries: Ruan Bester (2), Ruan Mulder, Blessing Monareng, Llewellyn Lourens.
