Glenwood take 7s title

GLENWOOD’S first two pool games in DHS's Sevens Tournament were played on Friday afternoon 9 September, against the likes of a KZN Coaches Invitational team and Maritzburg College.

Glenwood beat a very talented KZN Coaches Invitational side by 29-0 and then later beating Maritzburg College 32-5 in rainy conditions. The boys gained confidence from these two games and set themselves at the top of their pool on Saturday.

Saturday morning saw Glenwood take on a DHS invitational team. A slow start to the first game of the morning but was won convincingly by Glenwood 45 – 0 in the end.

Topping their pool with three out of three saw Glenwood take on Westville B in the Cup Quarter Final to be victorious by 32 – 0.

Then, into the game that everyone said should be the final, Glenwood took on a DHS side that has won several tournaments this season in the cup semi-finals. DHS drew first blood to lead 0-5. Glenwood defended like champions and held DHS scoreless for the remainder of the match. Glenwood worked hard on attack and managed to cross over the white line twice to beat DHS 12-5.

The Glenwood boys knew that if they wanted to win the tournament they had to beat DHS. In a physical encounter, Glenwood took on the DHS B side and won by 26-12 to be victorious champions.
