Western Province win Craven Week
The U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week was held at Glenwood High School last week.
WESTERN Province finished the 2014 Coca-Cola Under-13 Craven Week, held at Glenwood High School in Durban, as the top team after claiming a 29-14 victory over Border in a pulsating final match of a week full of entertainment and a display of South African youth rugby talent.
The win over an impressive Border team left the Cape side as the only unbeaten team and unofficial champions.
Equally impressive to the WP display was the abundance of talent spread rights across the country, with a number of platteland regions performing very well against the urban provinces.
Three teams were still undefeated at the begin of day four, on Friday, but after Leopards fell to Eastern Province, it was up to either Border or WP to walk away undefeated.
In the end it was Western Province, who scored 126 points and only conceded 27 in four matches that proved their mettle.
On the final day, the team from Bloemfontein finally delivered a polished performance against KZN, but was pushed all the way by a home side desperate for a win.
Each team scored four tries in an entertaining match, with the sole successful conversion of the match by FS outside centre Tony Augus the determining factor.
This came just before the break, but Free State still needed a try on full time to break KZN hearts. Free State scored 22 and KZN 20.
