Ho\u00ebrskool Montana<\/strong>‘s rugby fields rocked with lung-busting action on the weekend as the Northern Gauteng region’s top u17 and u15 schools’ teams battled it out for the High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota<\/strong>, titles.<\/p>\n

After the final whistle had sounded, it was Menlopark<\/strong> who was crowned the u17 champion, while Affies<\/strong> laid claim to the u15 honours.<\/p>\n

U17 Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Affies, as always, were going to be in the mix, but there was a hint of vulnerability in their challenge when they scraped a narrow 21-17 win over Overkruin<\/strong> in their last Pool A match. Still, they won all three of their matches.<\/p>\n

Garsfontein<\/strong> ran wild in Pool B, while Zwartkop<\/strong> was almost as dominant in topping Pool C. Montana<\/strong> made the home supporters happy by finishing in first place in Pool D, while Menlopark was extended by Pretoria Boys High<\/strong> in Pool E, winning by just seven points, but they shone in a 36-0 dismantling of Affies B.<\/p>\n

In the only meeting of pool winners in the quarterfinals, Garsfontein overran Montana 42-7, while Affies came away with a tough 33-24 win over Affies B in their clash. Menlopark blanked Zayo<\/strong> in their easy victory, while Zwartkop took down Wilgers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The runaway train that was Garsfontein was brought to a sudden stop in the semi-finals, with Menlopark recording a 21-7 win. Affies, meanwhile, cruised to a 38-7 win over Zwartkop.<\/p>\n

The Wit Bulle<\/strong> were, then, in for a rude shock in the final, where Menlopark handled them comfortably, winning 28-5.<\/p>\n

Zwartkop held off Garsfontein to claim bronze, while the Bowl went to Oos Moot<\/strong>, who comfortably beat Erasmus<\/strong> by 21 points. Affies B edged out Montana 24-21 in a tight Plate final, while Wonderboom<\/strong> triumphed 12-7 over Pretoria Boys High in the Shield final.<\/p>\n

U15 Competition<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the u15 competition, Affies powered their way to the top of the Pool A standings, although Oos Moot gave them a tough workout, with Affies battling their way to a 31-19 win in that clash.<\/p>\n

Garsfontein handed Waterkloof a 15-7 loss in the key match in Pool B and didn’t concede a point in their other two pool games. In Pool C, Zwartkop got the better of their rivals, Eldoraigne, in the clash that decided first place, while Montana edged out Centurion<\/strong> 12-7 and won their other Pool D fixtures comfortably to lead the way.<\/p>\n

It came down to Menlopark and Pretoria Boys High in Pool E and Menlo handled the assignment with assurance, racing to a 38-14 win over Boys High.<\/p>\n

As had happened in the u17 competition, Montana, after winning their pool, was eliminated in the only game between pool winners in the last eight, with Menlopark scoring a 33-5 win. Affies defeated their old rivals, Pretoria Boys High, 39-10, while Garsfontein scored a tight seven-point win over Oos Moot. Zwartkop cruised to a 26-5 victory over Centurion.<\/p>\n

An Affies vs Menlopark final was set up after both won in the semi-finals, with Menlo getting past Garsfontein 26-21, while Affies had a more comfortable win, beating Zwartkop 33-14.<\/p>\n

With the title on the line, Affies brought their A-game and claimed the silverware with a 28-7 victory.\u00a0Garsfontein had to settle for the bronze, after a solid win over Zwartkop.<\/p>\n

In a closely-contested Bowl final, Wilgers sneaked a 19-18 win over Curro Hazeldean<\/strong>. Oos Moot hoisted the Plate following a 36-21 defeat of Pretoria Boys High, and Waterkloof won 33-21 against Eldoraigne to capture the Shield.<\/p>\n
