Facing St Benedict’s College<\/strong> in their final Group A game, King’s Linbro went down 17-28 to Bennies<\/strong><\/em>, who were also unbeaten after day one’s action<\/strong> <\/a>after both teams downed Croydon High School<\/strong> and Parktown Boys’ High<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both King’s Linbro and St Benedict’s had done enough to qualify for the semi-finals, however. The question that remained was who would they face for a place in the final?<\/p>\n

In the last of the Group A games, Parktown decisively defeated Croydon House 20-0.<\/p>\n

In Group B, HeronBridge College<\/strong>, who went winless on Friday, going down to the St John’s College B Team<\/strong> and ESCA Wanderers<\/strong>, picked up a consolation victory, downing Curro Savannah<\/strong> 55-16.<\/p>\n

ESCA Wanderers, meanwhile, continued their dominant run. After pounding HeronBridge 83-15 and Curro Savannah 75-7 on Friday, they cruised to a 51-25 win over St John’s B.<\/p>\n

After winning all of their Group C games, King Edward VII (KES) <\/strong>secured a place in the semi-finals. They had comfortably dealt with St John’s A in a key clash on Friday, winning by 21 points. On Saturday, they overran Saheti<\/strong> 58-18 before romping to a 72-21 victory over Reddam House Helderfontein<\/strong> in their last group match.<\/p>\n

The six teams in the girls’ division continued their quest for a place in Sunday’s final, with Saheti and HeronBridge emerging from the melee to book their places in the title decider. Based on earlier results, Saheti will be a hot favourite.<\/p>\n

King’s Linbro will face Reddam House Helderfontein for bronze.<\/p>\n

Saheti A continued their winning ways on Saturday, outplaying King’s Linbro 38-10. They added two more similarly dominant victories, by 32-13 over HeronBridge College, and by 34-7 over Saheti B.<\/p>\n

After their loss to Saheti, HeronBridge bounced back with a hard-fought 13-11 victory over Reddam House Helderfontein.<\/p>\n

The hosts, King’s Linbro, recorded a 16-11 win over Saheti B and wrapped up Saturday with a 12-9 victory against Reddam House Helderfontein.<\/p>\n
