\"\"Kearsney College and Glenwood were the perfect contenders today and both schools put on an epic performance. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Green Machine and Kearsney both put two penalties and a conversion of the board, however, Glenwood managed to earn two tries to Kearsney\u2019s one. Such a close call and such a competitive game of rugby. <\/span><\/p>\n

The final score was 18-13 in Glenwood\u2019s favour.<\/span><\/p>\n

St Albans succeeded in their fourth seasonal victory when they played against Clifton today. Clifton put up a good fight and managed to get a try, conversion and penalty. <\/span><\/p>\n

This was unfortunately not enough to take the win today, as St Albans came ready to play and earned a 22-10 victory. <\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew Pearce, of St Albans, scored two tries and Druan Visagie scored two conversions. Codi Peterson and Josh Verster scored one try and one penalty, respectively, for St Albans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michaelhouse are not slowing down after their 23-20 victory over Kearsney, but rather reigniting their winning streak. They defeated Durban High School 31-27 today in a tense battle. DHS is a strong contender and Michaelhouse still managed to come out on top; worth mentioning is the precise kicking game of Luke Davidson. <\/span><\/p>\n

A hat-trick was not enough for Davidson, he succeeded in converting all four tries. On top of this, scored a penalty for Michaelhouse. Wandile Mlaba, Fortune Mpofu, Thabo Njapha and Aphiwe Shelembe each broke through the solid defense of DHS to score a try for Michaelhouse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Northwood Knights and St Charles College took the field today, the first half foreshadowed an incredibly close game. By half-time it was 26-24 in Northwood\u2019s favour and St Charles were playing top notch rugby to keep the Knights at bay. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the second half, Northwood took control of the game and things went in a different direction. The Knights managed to increase their total score to 59 by full time. St Charles showed what strong contenders they can be, but ultimately Northwood left with a well-deserved 59-29 victory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hilton is having a near perfect season, delivering yet another win today against Pretoria Boys\u2019 High School. This was Hiltons eighth win, and it was a big one. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Hiltonians ended the game at 39-15. Pretoria did not hold back and did their best to defend their line, but Hilton\u2019s squad is polished, focused and determined to take the win. The strength of a unified team shouldn\u2019t be underestimated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
