They forced the Ovies&#8217; defence onto the back foot, and, at times, it looked as if they could inspire a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>After sharing the spoils in the second half, Langenhoven will look back on the match and think they could have had a shot at victory if they had been on their game from the start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overberg 29 (17) &#8211;<\/strong> Tries: Johan Beukes (2), Lee Abotsi, Andrew Erasmus, Ave Tyali.
