RUGBY: Owls feast on friendly ‘prey’
The Boksburg Rugby Club completed a clean sweep of victories against three opponents, in Nigel, on Saturday, March 7 as their preparations for the new rugby season gained momentum.
Benoni, Sasol and Springs all fell victim to the Owls in a perfect outing for the PG Park side.
The first team beat Sasol 22-12, but it was Boksburg’s u-21 side who sent out the biggest statement on the day, with a 38-10 thumping of Springs.
The second and third teams faced Benoni’s first and second teams, respectively.
The second team emerged as 18-12 victors, with the third side triumphing with 14-12, to stamp their dominance on their local rivals.
“Our teams are all still trying to gel, but they played really well – much better than last week,” said the Owls’ chairman Sean Scheepers, referring to the Delmas Rugby Day where Boksburg won two out of four matches on February 28.
Any u-19 to 21 rugby players looking to join the club may visit the Boksburg Rugby Club’s training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6.30pm, at their Prince George Park home ground.
