HOËRSKOOL President High School ended their North West Universities Super Series on a high note, beating Goudrif High School on Saturday, April 23 at Dr Malan in Meyerton.
The team from the South finished a credible third and the coaches can be justifiably proud of the way they finished the competition.
President’s first team kicked off the match by retaining the ball through multiple phases going forward only to watch the last pass going astray. One aspect that was especially pleasing is their captain and fly-half Donavan Hall’s ability to put the ball in the corners and play in the right half of the field.
The Southerners managed to play in the opposition 22m and launched substantial attacks which were rewarded with a try by Raymond Jacobs. The half-time score was 5-0 in their favour.
After the break President really picked up the pace and played some good rugby. They maintained their grip on the match and never let it slip. Eventually they ran in four more tries and one was converted. The result was pleasing as was the way in which the team approached the match. The first team is a contender in the league and this match will surely give them a confidence boost going into the rest of the season.
Tries:
Dylon van Wyk, Mandla Shabalala, Raymond Jacobs (2)
Conversion:
Donavan Hall
