In a King Price Derby Series <\/strong>clash on Memorial A-Field<\/strong>, the visitors, Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong>, scored a tough 21-10 win over SACS <\/strong>on Saturday, in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

After a tight 9-7 win at home and a 29-30 defeat away in 2024, Wynberg would have been delighted with a more comprehensive result in their favour.<\/p>\n

It also ensured they completed their second term assignments on a winning note after a narrow 17-21 loss to Paul Roos Gimnasium<\/strong><\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the sides were neck-and-neck in a tight first half, with both scoring only seven points each. Daniel Grant<\/strong> dotted down for the home side, while Yaqeen Ahmed<\/strong> went over for Wynberg. In the second half, their paths diverged.<\/p>\n

Wynberg upped the ante by scoring only three minutes after the restart. They made some metres after going blindside from a scrum about 30 metres from the hosts’ goal line. Then, scrumhalf Morn\u00e9 Noble<\/strong> delivered a flat pass to the hard running flank, Tjeripo Karuhumba<\/strong>, who muscled his way through for five. Flyhalf Achmat Behardien<\/strong> added the extras.<\/p>\n

SACS responded with a superbly struck penalty from 40 metres by outside centre Mikey Skeeles<\/strong>, after the home team had won a jackal penalty.<\/p>\n

Wynberg, however, sealed the deal with a try in the 62nd minute. It began from a lineout 10m from the SACS’ try line and was finished by inside centre Yaqeen Ahmed, who scored his second of the game after sniping from the base of the ruck<\/p>\n

Behardien made it three from three off the kicking tee to lift the visitors’ total to 21 points.<\/p>\n

SACS next plays at Paarl Boys’ High<\/strong> on 26 July, while Wynberg faces a daunting trip to Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> on the same day.<\/p>\n
