Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong> successfully defended their home turf in Stellenbosch on Saturday, seeing off Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> 25-10, with their flank Gert Kemp<\/strong> putting in a man-of-the-match performance to help the Maroon Machine<\/strong> maintain their unblemished record for the season.<\/p>\n

After Paul Roos beat Boishaai<\/strong> 35-17 at the Buco Brug Street Stadium last year, this year’s Sportsmans Warehouse Premier Interschools<\/strong> showdown was set up to be another thrilling battle as Paarl Boys sought to reverse that result.<\/p>\n

Kemp opened the scoring, bursting through the Boishaai defensive line, after a great off-load in contact by his destructive No. 8, Reuben Kruger<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The visitors kept their cool and flyhalf Viaan Mentoor<\/strong> chipped away at the deficit with a well-struck penalty, but the hosts stood firm to prevent Paarl from crossing their try line.<\/p>\n

However, a period of sustained pressure by the PRG attack took them up to the Boishaai try line, and their lively scrumhalf Adeeb Boraine<\/strong> reaped the rewards of his forwards’ hard work when he found space around the ruck to stroll over for their second five-pointer.<\/p>\n

Flyhalf Joshua Dampies<\/strong>‘ aim was true off the tee, which lifted his side to the maximum 14 points after their two tries and put them into an 11-point lead at the break.<\/p>\n

He continued to punish the visitors with his educated boot and knocked over a drop goal to get the scoreboard rolling in the second half.<\/p>\n

The Paarl powerhouse never let up, though, and their endeavour paid off when wing Ashwin Swarts<\/strong> dived over for their sole try. Mentoor nailed the conversion to get his team back to within seven points.<\/p>\n

That was it for the Boishaai attack, however, and the marauding PRG raised the ante again as they launched a barrage on the visitors’ defences.<\/p>\n

With eight minutes left on the clock, the Maroon Machine set up another unstoppable maul from which Altus Rabe<\/strong> landed the knockout blow.<\/p>\n

Dampies added a final penalty for good measure, and the home team kept the visitors off the board as they saw out the final minutes of the contest.<\/p>\n

Still unbeaten, Paul Roos has stated their goal<\/a> for the first team this season is to live up to the school’s illustrious legacy, and they have done so with distinction thus far.<\/p>\n

Next weekend they travel to Gqeberha to face Grey High, who surprised by holding Wynberg Boys’ High to a 10-10 draw in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

Wynberg, who scored an historic 30-27 win over Boishaai at the Buco Brug Street Stadium<\/a> a week ago, also remain unbeaten, so Paul Roos will not take their challengers from the Eastern Cape lightly.<\/p>\n

Boishaai gets a well-deserved break after a taxing run of fixtures. They’ll next be in action at the Absa Wildeklawer Festival<\/strong> in Kimberley at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n
