\"\"St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong> supporters were treated to a points’ scoring bonanza as the home team ran riot against St Benedict’s College<\/strong> in Sandton on Saturday, storming their way to a 59-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Outside centre Theo Fonternel<\/strong> and super-sub Owami Maropola<\/strong> crossed for doubles as St David’s powered their way to eight tries in total.<\/p>\n

Bennies were further hurt by scrumhalf\u00a0Diego Ferreira<\/strong>, who shone with the boot, converting every one of those eight five-pointers. He also landed a penalty for a personal haul of 19 points.<\/p>\n

It’s the third time this season that St Benedict’s has conceded 50 or more points, with St Stithians Colleg<\/strong>e and Graeme College<\/strong> also achieving the feat against them.<\/p>\n

Many questions have been asked but Bennies have found few answers. Incremental improvements will be needed to turn to the tide.<\/p>\n

Northcliff<\/strong> edged out Parktown Boys’ High School<\/strong>, winning at home by a whisker, 16-15.<\/p>\n

Northcliff set the tempo and had opened up a nine-point lead by half-time, with flyhalf Matthew Hunt<\/strong> punishing Parktown’s errors by landing three penalties.<\/p>\n

In the second stanza, the visitors bounced\u00a0back with tries from scrumhalf Thepiso Tladi<\/strong> and fullback Kgotso Tumahole.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, with 15 minutes left on the clock, the home team manufactured a crucial reply, with Frank Devenish<\/strong>‘s try proving to be a winner.<\/p>\n

Parktown might have thought they had sufficient time left to overhaul Northcliff, but they failed to take the opportunities they created, and it was a clean sweep for the hosts, who also won all of the A team matches on the day.<\/p>\n
