Rugby:Â Sarel Cilliers won its Derby Day rugby clash, with a 19 – 5 victory over Dundee High School. During a game which was played at an intense pace, Sarel soaked up the pressure and gradually began to penetrate the Reds’ defence. Sarel’s Willem Husselman broke the deadlock, with his try followed by a score from wing, Aphiwe Nkosi. Sarel entered the shed ahead 19 points to 0. DHS scored a consolation try to end the game.
Other games ended as follows: the u-14s won 51 – 0, the u-1s won 36 – 15, the u-16s won 10 – 8 and the second team won 12 – 10. Sarel wishes its rugby sides everything of the best for next weekend’s fixtures, against Hilton College. See the Derby Day spread in this edition for more photographs.
