\"\"The Heritage\u00a0Sevens<\/strong>, the latest round of the High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota<\/strong>, proved to be a triumph for Ho\u00ebrskool Middelburg (HS Middelburg) <\/strong>as both their u15 and u17 teams went unbeaten and claimed their age group titles on Saturday in Middelburg. Unfortunately for Helpmekaar<\/strong>, they had to settle for the runner-up spot in both competitions.<\/p>\n

Ben Viljoen<\/strong> made HS Middelburg work hard for their first u17 victory, with the local school winning 19-0. It was, however, the first of three shutouts for the Middies<\/strong> in Group B, with each win by a bigger score: 35-0 vs Patriot<\/strong> and 52-0 vs Steelcrest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At last, in the semi-finals, Ho\u00ebrskool Kanonkop <\/strong>managed to score twice against HS Middelburg, but it was one-way traffic as Middies powered their way to a 59-14 win.<\/p>\n

Helpmekaar, who won their opener only 28-17 against Bergvlam<\/strong>, followed up with big wins over Barberton<\/strong> and Eastdene Combined<\/strong>, tipping fifty points both times, and they then held off HTS Middelburg<\/strong> in the semi-finals, recording a 24-19 victory.<\/p>\n

In the final, the Middies secured a 10-point win, taking the title by a 24-14 margin.<\/p>\n

There was joy for Patriot<\/strong> in the Bowl final, where they handed Rob Ferreira<\/strong> a 31-14 loss, while Ben Viljoen got by Kempton Park<\/strong> 24-19 to lift the Plate.<\/p>\n

In the u15 competition, HS Middelburg was extended by Ben Viljoen in their pool game, winning 26-12 after cruising to a 45-0 win over Bergvlam. Helpmekaar, meanwhile, beat Rob Ferreira 26-7 and then ran roughshod over Eastdene Combined, putting up 75 points.<\/p>\n

Ben Viljoen showed they were a team to be reckoned with in the quarterfinals, beating HTS Middelburg 21-12, while HS Middelburg 2 pushed Rob Ferreira hard before succumbing 12-19. Helpmekaar and HS Middelburg both progressed without conceding a point, with Helpies crushing Barberton<\/strong> 60-0 and Middies taking down the hosts, Kanonkop, 38-0.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, it was tighter in the semi-finals, with Middelburg accounting for Ben Viljoen 21-7 and Helpmekaar ousting Rob Ferreira 36-12.<\/p>\n

Middies then lifted their game in the final, romping to an emphatic 22-0 win over Helpmekaar.<\/p>\n

Steelcrest strode to the Bowl title, beating Bergvlam 33-5, while HS Middelburg 2 decisively beat HTS Middelburg 24-5 in the Plate final.<\/p>\n
