PRETORIA. – The Blue Bulls were crowned the unofficial champions of the annual u13 Craven Week for the first time since 2012.<\/p>\n

The hosts defeated Western Province by 21-17 in the main match played at Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark’s main field in the Jacaranda City.<\/p>\n

Western Province was the defending unofficial champions after they beat Boland 10-8 in last year’s main match in Pietermaritzburg.<\/p>\n

The Blue Bulls’ flyhalf, George Terblanche<\/strong>, played a pivotal role in his side’s victory as he scored one of his side’s two tries, slotted three penalties and converted one of the tries.<\/p>\n

Terblanche’s tally of 16 points in the main match took him to 43 in the tournament which made him the leading point scorer.<\/p>\n

The home side’s flanker Luan MacDonald<\/strong> was once again prominent with his ball-carrying. He scored six tries during the tournament. On defence, it was the hooker, Paul Bester<\/strong>, and eighthman, Henrico van Zyl<\/strong>, who was their weight worth in gold for the Bulls.<\/p>\n

For Western Province, their speedy winger Tyron Strauss<\/strong> was again a handful. He scored also his sixth try of the week in the main match. WP’s lock Christiaan van der Watt<\/strong> was probably his side’s best player on the day.<\/p>\n

The top try scorer during the week was the Leopards’ flanker Dihan Booyens<\/strong>. He scored his seventh try in his side’s last match against the Valke to help them to a 21-12 victory.<\/p>\n

The Free State managed to finish the week on a high thanks to a last-minute try by winger Zenzo Manana<\/strong>. He and the fullback, Lebohang Lephallo<\/strong>, scored a brace of tries as the Free Staters bagged a scintillating 38-33 victory over South Western Districts.<\/p>\n

The team from the Garden Route’s winger Jordan Fortuin<\/strong> and fullback, Jovern Fortuin<\/strong>, both enjoyed a good tournament.<\/p>\n
