Wynberg continued its winning record against Grey High, which extended to five wins and two draws since its last loss to the Gqeberha side.\u00a0 Photo: Wynberg Rugby Official.<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> defeated Grey High<\/strong> for the second year in a row on Saturday in Cape Town. With a couple of draws sprinkled in, the Gqeberha boys’ winless streak against Wynberg extends back to 2017.<\/p>\n

Once the southern suburbs’ side took the lead, they steadily increased it. They led 17-10 at halftime. By the final whistle, though, they had stretched their advantage to 24 points, scoring a convincing 41-17 victory.<\/p>\n

Wynberg scrumhalf Rauf Ahmed<\/strong> used his vision to find holes around the fringes of the rucks, which he then exploited with his speed to bag two tries.<\/p>\n

Flyhalf Achmat Behardien<\/strong> showed why he was selected for the Western Province Craven Week<\/strong> outfit last year, slotting all five conversion attempts, along with two penalties, for a contribution of 16 points.<\/p>\n

Grey High produced some good moments. Their hooker, Micah Wessels,<\/strong> scored off the back of a rolling maul, while flyhalf Likhona Nakani<\/strong> weaved his way past a couple of opposition defenders for an impressive try.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the hosts were the more clinical side. They turned their possession into territory and slowly wore down Grey’s defence over time.<\/p>\n

That delivered the fruits of their labour in the second half, when they converted more chances inside the opposition’s 22-metre area.<\/p>\n

Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> will take note of Wynberg’s offensive capabilities and will prepare accordingly this week before the teams meet at Wynberg next Saturday.<\/p>\n
