Nories<\/strong>, with a third win at the 27th St John’s Easter Rugby Festival<\/strong>, took their unbeaten run to five matches, following on from two victories at the NMI Toyota North-South Tournament<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The side from Krugersdorp easily dealt with Voortrekker<\/strong>, cruising to a comfortable 47-3 win. Their gasman on the left wing, Linsey Jansen<\/strong>, continued his great try-scoring form, running in two more against the team from Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

(Big Bad) Brad Brown<\/strong> put the Trekkers under severe pressure, pounding them with his aggressive runs in broken play, which also brought him two tries, including the second from inside his own half.<\/p>\n

Jeandr\u00e9 Uithaler<\/strong> was in good kicking form, converting five of his side’s tries, for a personal haul of 10 points.<\/p>\n

Hilton College<\/strong> also completed an unbeaten run through the festival, making Ho\u00ebrskool\u00a0Nelspruit<\/strong> their last victim. The men from just outside Pietermaritzburg ran in four tries to claim an impressive 32-17 victory over their opponents from Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t a straightforward victory, however, with Nellies appearing to be in the mood to pull off another fantastic fightback. Hilton’s strong defence, however, thwarted their opponent’s efforts.<\/p>\n

Brad McLeod-Henderson<\/strong>‘s charges dominated the contact points, tackling Nelspruit backwards on more than one occasion. They also had the upper hand in the set phases. This laid the platform for a well-coached backline to run rampant.<\/p>\n

Outside centre Khazimla Mokali<\/strong> and fullback\u00a0Xola Makongolo<\/strong> rounded off two of the best tries seen over the course of the three days of action.<\/p>\n

Nellies were by no means disappointing. Right winger and try-scoring machine, Jordan Pretorius<\/strong>, was once again on the scoresheet, going over for his team’s second try, just six minutes after Nelspruit hooker, Regardt Vermaak<\/strong>, had crossed for five.<\/p>\n

The cost of their recent heavy schedule became apparent in the last 10 minutes, however, as Nellies’ intensity slipped, and Hilton added two more tries.<\/p>\n
