Paarl Gimnasium<\/strong> enjoyed a field day at home on Saturday, defeating Bishops <\/b>66-14 while running in 10 tries.<\/p>\n

Gimmies’<\/i><\/b> <\/i>captain and inside centre Ethan Barker<\/strong> dotted down twice, while last week’s hat-trick hero, Corn\u00e9<\/strong> Niemand<\/strong>, matched him.<\/p>\n

The visitors acquired 14 points, all in the first half. Hooker Joe Lanning<\/strong> forced his way over the try line, followed by a score from outside centre Danny Newton<\/strong>, and flyhalf Caleb Clark<\/strong>\u00a0converted both.<\/p>\n

The hosts were dominant in all aspects of the game. They secured and stole possession from the scrums, lineouts, and breakdowns.<\/p>\n

With a surfeit of possession, they had numerous opportunities to express themselves, and that resulted in some exciting tries. Their creativity and skillful hands proved to be too much for the Bishops’ defence.<\/p>\n

At halftime, the hosts were already 40-14 up. They added another four tries in the second stanza.<\/p>\n

Paarl Gim will aim to continue their try-scoring form at Wynberg Boys’ High<\/strong> next Saturday, while Bishops will be focused on picking up their first win in five games against Ho\u00ebrskool Durbanville<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
