The new schoolboy rugby season was welcomed in style in the Western Cape as teams gathered at Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> for five action-packed days from Friday.<\/p>\n

The four big rivals from the southern suburbs all kicked off their seasons at the event, with Wynberg and SACS<\/strong> registering wins. Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> tacked two wins onto their record, and Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> came up just short against Oakdale Landbou<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Wynberg flexed their muscles against the visiting side from Windhoek High School<\/strong>, blasting the visitors 84-3.<\/p>\n

The 9\/10 combo of Yaqeen Ahmed<\/strong> and Tyronn Gomb<\/strong> devastated the Namibians’ defensive lines. Both crossed the whitewash three times, and Brandon Asburner scored a brace of tries, as the hosts romped to a decisive win, scoring 14 tries in all.<\/p>\n

It was a tough ask for Windhoek High, who had little turnaround time after playing in the final match against Bishops on Friday. Bishops controlled the tempo of that game with a well-drilled attack as they rolled to 43-8 victory in their opener.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Morkel<\/strong> got one back against the locals, finishing off with some clever support play after an interception.<\/p>\n

Bishops also took on St Charles College<\/strong> from Pietermaritzburg on Sunday. Saints had beaten Milnerton<\/strong> 25-19 in a thrilling encounter under lights on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

The Bishops’ 1st XV has been preparing to defend their school’s honour at their 175th Year Festival next weekend, and they stormed out of the blocks on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Two intercept-tries gave the Capetonians a commanding lead early on.\u00a0 Kashief Joseph<\/strong> scored twice and captain, James le Feuvre<\/strong>, added another for a 21-0 head-start, but St Charles kept their heads up, kept fighting, and clawed their way back into the contest just before half time.<\/p>\n

Halfback, Matthew Fick, who made the Sharks’ Craven Week team last year, was immense for Saints, along with his flyhalf, Ukhanyo Ntsangani,<\/strong> but a perfect conversion record by Lucca Mynhardt<\/strong> gave Bishops the edge.<\/p>\n

The home side was forced to defend in the second half but showed character to keep St Charles at bay, which bodes well as they aim to add another strong season to the school’s proud rugby history in its 175th anniversary year.<\/p>\n

Windhoek High finally got a taste of success on Monday, when they beat Bellville THS<\/strong> in a gruelling 7-0 slugfest.<\/p>\n

Just like in the game against Bishops, it was the winger, Morkel, who scored the only try for the Namibians, which his fullback, William Beukes<\/strong> converted. That proved enough to secure a victory before they took the long drive back to Windhoek.<\/p>\n

SACS put themselves under pressure against Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville <\/strong>by\u00a0missing all six of their attempts at goal and conceding a penalty try, but, ultimately, they outmuscled the Durbies, scoring five tries to win by three points.<\/p>\n

Oakdale Landbou were the only visitors to have success against one of the southern suburbs’ powerhouses, beating Rondebosch 17-13.<\/p>\n

After a closely contested first half, the farmers from Riversdal trailed by three points and David Simon<\/strong> doubled Bosch’s lead with a penalty shortly after the break.<\/p>\n

Oakdale stuck to their structures, however, and Reinhardt Viljoen<\/strong> and Kai Pratt<\/strong> crossed the whitewash to add to Lohan Gerber<\/strong>‘s first half try to seal a big victory for the visitors ahead of their Klein Karoo Saadproduksie Rugby Week<\/strong> next weekend.<\/p>\n
