The Potchefstroom Gimnasium first XV overturned a six point half-time deficit to beat Potchefstroom Volkskool 29-13 in their FNB Classic Clash on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The character of the Gimmies players is something to be commendable because of their ability to comeback in the second-half of the game to take the win in what was a hard fought affair.<\/p>\n
At half-time Volkies lead 13-7 which meant that Gimmies scored 22 unanswered points in the second-half to take the win.<\/p>\n
Some good kicking as well as three tries in the second-half of the game was the difference between the two sides and Volkies did not have an answer to this onslaught from Gimmies.<\/p>\n
A try, two conversions and a penalty from Gimmies flyhalf SJ Janse van Rensberg made the difference in the match and helped his side come from behind to win in front of a home crowd that would have also encouraged them on after a quiet first-half.<\/p>\n
Gimmies mangaged to make it back-to-back wins against their rivals this year, is this the start of a trend?<\/p>\n
