\"NewsGMoemagareMolete\"After heavy rain over the past 24 hours, damp overcast conditions met the players from Noord-Kaap and Dr EG Jansen when they ran out for today\u2019s first game, but the Stott field was firm underfoot.  Both teams were looking for a second victory after they had each lost their first game and won their second.<\/span><\/p>\n

EG Jansen was more effective when they kept the game tight, because Noord-Kaap backline always looked dangerous on attack, as long as their forwards gave them good ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first try came 12 minutes into the game when Jansen set up a maul, rumbling 15m forward and their hooker Kyle Pepler went over, converted by Kyle Potgieter, for a 7-0 lead.  Noord-Kaap centre Keano Windvogel broke the defensive line, passing to his captain and fullback Elzandro Fredericks who scored out wide, narrowing the gap to 5-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

EG Jansen again did what they do best, another maul, another try, again by hooker Pepler, and again converted by Potgieter, to increase the lead to 14-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noord-Kaap hit back, moving the ball amongst the backs.  Wing Jacquin van Wyk sliced through the defence to score, thereby reducing the deficit to 12-14, after a successful conversion by Corne du Plessis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just before half-time, there was another break, ending with wing Moemagare Molete scoring in the corner for Noord-Kaap to lead at the break.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second half was only minutes old when Molete scored his second try to take the lead to 24-14 with the conversion by Du Plessis.<\/span><\/p>\n

EG Jansen replacement flyhalf Keagan Balfour broke the defence to score, converted by Potgieter, to make it a three-point game 21-24 for the final 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the final seconds, EG Jansen looked as though they may have won, but the ball was dropped on the line by their wing, giving Noord-Kaap the victory in a highly entertaining game.<\/span><\/p>\n
