Welkom Gimnasium<\/strong> made their trip from the Free State worthwhile by capturing the High School Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota<\/strong>, Volkskool Heidelberg Sevens<\/strong> u17 title on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In the u15 event, Noordheuwel<\/strong> beat the hosts to claim the crown.<\/p>\n

Renowned for their running rugby in the 15-man game, Welkom Gim made a smooth transition to the seven-man format and cruised through Pool A, with Zayo Rhinos<\/strong> coming closest to extending them in a 28-14 win for the Free Staters.<\/p>\n

In the playoffs, however, Volkskool Heidelberg<\/strong> made Gim sweat for a 14-12 victory. After that wake-up call, the Welkom boys raised their game and toppled Transvalia<\/strong> 31-17 in the Cup semi-finals.<\/p>\n

That secured them a place in the final against Noordheuwel<\/strong>, who finished as the runners-up in Pool B. Their passage wasn’t smooth, with Kempton Park<\/strong> comfortably winning their pool clash 37-12.<\/p>\n

In the playoffs, Noordheuwel sneaked past Dinamika<\/strong>, winning 19-17. Meanwhile, there was heartbreak for Kempton Park. They played to a 12-12 draw with Helpmekaar<\/strong>, but the rules of the event stated that the team that scores the first try in a draw advances, and that was Helpies.<\/p>\n

Helpmekaar then faced Noordheuwel in the semi-finals and, in another tight clash, Noordheuwel claimed a 17-12 win.<\/p>\n

Their run was brought to a solid halt in the title decider where Welkom Gimnasium controlled the contest and ran out convincing 31-7 winners.<\/p>\n

u15 Competition<\/p>\n

Noordheuwel cruised to the title in the u15 competition and they were barely extended. They gave up 12 points in a 31-12 defeat of Hugenote<\/strong> in a Pool B clash, and 14 to Kempton Park<\/strong> in the playoffs, but that was in a 45-14 triumph.<\/p>\n

Later, they destroyed the competition in the Cup semi-finals, smashing Helpmekaar 43-0, which they followed up with a 34-5 dismantling of Volkskool Heidelberg in the final.<\/p>\n

From early on, it was clear that Noordheuwel was the team to beat, but none came close to pulling off an upset.<\/p>\n
