PRETORIA. – The unofficial defending champions of the u13 Craven Week<\/strong>, Western Province, started their 2024 campaign with a convincing 36-12 victory over Griqualand West on Menlopark’s main field.<\/p>\n

Griqualand West did trouble WP in the first half as the team from the Western Cape could only manage a 19-5 lead at the break. The Peacock Blues’ flanker, Luan Coetzee<\/strong>, kept their defence busy.<\/p>\n

The big star for Western Province was their left wing, Tyron Strauss<\/strong>, who scored four tries thanks to his exceptional pace.<\/p>\n

Western Province will face South Western Districts in their second clash of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Blue Bulls probably produced the most impressive performance of the opening day as they smashed Eastern Province by 60-7. The match was stopped two minutes before the final whistle was supposed to be blown.<\/p>\n

The winning side’s flanker Luan MacDonald<\/strong> scored five of his side’s tries. He could have scored a couple more but decided to give the final pass to his teammates.<\/p>\n

The Bulls will face the Free State in their second clash of the week. The Free State defeated the Sharks by 36-19 in their opening match.<\/p>\n

History was made during the opening day of the u13 Craven Week at the Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark as the Pumas thrashed Border Country Districts by 50-0 on the main field.<\/p>\n

The match was stopped after only two minutes in the second half. The first time since 1972 that a match was stopped due to the scoreline. The Pumas already enjoyed a lead of 43-0 at half-time.<\/p>\n

All matches during this year’s tournament will be stopped once the score difference becomes 50 points.<\/p>\n
