SACS<\/strong> ended Milnerton<\/strong>‘s winning streak against the southern suburbs’ schools with a decisive 59-19 victory on the Memorial Field<\/strong> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A brace by their returning captain, Seth Bradford<\/strong>, helped the home team to a 33-7 lead at halftime, and a red card in the second half curtailed any hope of a famous Milnerton comeback.<\/p>\n

SACS got off to a perfect start with their inside centre, Matt Carrick<\/strong>, crossing the line for the opening try within minutes of the kick-off.\u00a0Bradford, then, struck twice in quick succession to mark his return in style.<\/p>\n

After missing most of the season with a hamstring injury, the industrious no. 9 returned to action against Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> last month, only to be forced from the field again with a concussion.<\/p>\n

He was clearly hungry to make his mark and led his side with distinction alongside Nic Reynolds,<\/strong> who had done an excellent job as captain in Bradford’s absence.<\/p>\n

Milnerton showed glimpses of the deadly attack that saw them achieve memorable come-from-behind wins against Bishops Diocesan College<\/strong> (31-28) and Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong> (34-33) earlier in the season.<\/p>\n

Their lightning-quick wing Keagan Wood<\/strong> bagged a double and Briint Davids<\/strong> also added a five-pointer but, for the most part, the SACS defence remained rock-solid, with Reynolds and Zac Wilson<\/strong> putting in a couple of crunching tackles.<\/p>\n

A red card to Milnerton knocked the wind out of their sails, but by then SACS had already built a healthy lead. The numbers were evened out in the final five minutes when SACS also received a red card but, even then, Rayaan Solomons<\/strong> went over for a try to deal the knockout blow and secure an impressive victory.<\/p>\n

Milnerton will seek a bounce-back performance next weekend when they host Ho\u00ebrskool Brackenfell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SACS also has a big battle ahead, away against a well-rested Boland Landbou<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bishops<\/strong> took on a wounded Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> squad, which was coming off an extremely tough run of fixtures and was eager to return to winning ways.<\/p>\n

It was all Boishaai<\/strong>, who overran Bishops 73-6, with their excellent backline play stretching the hosts’ defences thin and culminating in 11 tries, of which six were scored by the wings, Aiden Jacobs<\/strong> and Shane Lee Simonse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Bishops’ boys get a much-needed break next weekend before they have the chance to put all of their recent troubles behind them when they go up against their arch-rivals, Rondebosch Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rondebosch won’t have the luxury of focusing on that fixture yet. They’ll be preparing for a massive challenge in Paarl, where they face Boishaai next weekend.<\/p>\n
