\"\"Despite meeting for the first time in 31 years on a rugby field, there was certainly no love lost between Alberton’s Ho\u00ebrskool Dinamika<\/strong> and Ho\u00ebrskool Marais Viljoen<\/strong>. Their showdown brought the inaugural Fairtree Sport Festival<\/strong> at Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong> in Pretoria to a dramatic close.<\/p>\n

After a nail-biting and drama-filled clash, bragging rights in Alberton went to Marais Viljoen (MV)<\/strong>, thanks to a hard-fought 24\u201320 victory.<\/p>\n

At halftime, they trailed by 17 points and had been held scoreless. Undaunted, they mounted a fightback, outscoring Dinamika 24-3 in the second stanza.<\/p>\n

Openside flank Tshepo Tsholo<\/strong> opened the Marais Viljoen account shortly after the restart, dotting down the first of his two tries in a standout performance.<\/p>\n

A series of thundering collisions from both sides defined the match. Dinamika<\/strong>\u2019s first-half dominance was underpinned by their ability to absorb sustained pressure before converting defensive resilience into points.<\/p>\n

The battle between scrumhalves, Peter Chihobo<\/strong> (Ho\u00ebrskool Marais Viljoen<\/strong>) and Riley Sinclaire<\/strong> (Ho\u00ebrskool Dinamika<\/strong>),<\/strong> added further intrigue. Chihobo<\/strong>‘s service was sharp, which helped MV to build momentum, while Sinclaire<\/strong>‘s tactical box-kicking dictated play during the opening 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

A 34-minute lightning-related disruption led to an intense last seven minutes of the match. Upon the resumption of play, Dinamika<\/strong> launched wave after wave of attack in an attempt to overturn the four-point deficit. However, a resolute defensive effort from the MV kept them out and secured the victory.<\/p>\n

Earlier, in the fixture preceding the much-anticipated Alberton derby, the Parkies<\/em><\/strong> of the Die Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark<\/strong> XV<\/strong> withstood a spirited challenge from the Ho\u00ebrskool Dr Malan <\/strong>of Meyerton, claiming a 34\u201322 win.<\/p>\n

Hooker Gihann Parsons<\/strong> delivered a superb performance, scoring the only hat-trick of the day to make a significant contribution to his side’s total.<\/p>\n

Dokkies<\/em><\/strong>‘ hooker Dylan Hopkins <\/strong>was his usual influential self and also crossed for a try. However, Dr Malan’s primary points scorer was flyhalf JJ Kruger<\/strong>, who scored a try, added two conversions, and slotted a penalty, which constituted 12 of his team\u2019s 22 points.<\/p>\n
