\"\"Graeme College<\/strong> kicked off the third and final day of the 27th St John’s Easter Rugby Festival with an exhilarating display of running rugby, smashing St Benedict’s<\/strong> 50-12.<\/p>\n

Graeme College left winger, Emihle Sukula<\/strong>, and the impressive Ashton Williams<\/strong>, at outside centre, both crossed for five-pointers twice. The side from Makhanda’s backline clicked wonderfully, consistently running circles around Bennies.<\/p>\n

It was, however, Cameron Doyle<\/strong>, the Graeme scrumhalf, who moved to fullback for the day, who stole the show. His timing in joining the backline was exemplary and he sliced through Bennies to score a well-deserved hattrick of tries.<\/p>\n

Replacement forward, Brynn Ngarande<\/strong>, put the lid on a solid outing for Graeme, scoring their eighth and final try.<\/p>\n

The Golden Lions Invitational XV<\/strong> impressed once again, especially on defence. It was, unfortunately for the local side, not quite enough to keep the Maritzburg College<\/strong> right winger, Langelihle Makhathini<\/strong>, quiet.<\/p>\n

Makhatini exhibited exciting pace and wonderful footwork to complete the second hattrick of the day, contributing 15 of his side’s points in their 24-7 victory.<\/p>\n

The Lions XV’s inside centre, Anele Hlongwane<\/strong>, finally burst over for a try, to score his side’s first points of the festival. Eighthman, Joshua Mhlanga<\/strong>, also impressed.<\/p>\n

Boland Landbou welcomed Hans Moore to the festival with a 59-0 hammering in the third game of the day. Right-wing Wehan Lume<\/strong> and scrumhalf\u00a0Jayden Brits<\/strong> led the Bolanders’ onslaught, with both crossing the whitewash twice.<\/p>\n

The Western Cape team’s flyhalf\/fullback, Retagan van Rooi<\/strong>, showed his off his impressive skillset, also going over for a five-pointer. In addition to that, he had his kicking boots on, converting six tries, to take his contribution for the match up to 19 points.<\/p>\n
