The Kwaggas hit the ground running, storming roughshod over the visitors in the first 20 minutes to race into a 24-0 lead.
A brace by their flyer on the wing, Keenan Jantjies, coupled with tries by flyhalf Ellie Meyer and no. 8, Gareth Maree, put the hosts firmly in the driving seat.
The brave Durbie attack never let up, however, and they opened their account on the half-hour, when Claydon Karelse stepped through the narrowest of gaps in the Kwagga defence.
After the Durbies found their feet, it became a more competitive contest, with the visitors outscoring the hosts 12-10 after the break.
Mere minutes into the second, Tobie Roelofse, picked off an Outeniqua pass to strike for Durbanville again.
A final big shove by the burly lock from George, Ruben Rossouw, sealed the victory for Outeniqua and, despite hitting back one more time on the buzzer through Daniel Havenga, the Durbies will have to wait another year for a shot at taking down the Kwaggas.
In another thrilling encounter between Boland Landbou and Stellenberg, the Paarl farmers were able to see off a spirited effort from the visitors, triumphing 25-19 after trailing for most of the match. Link to the game
The Jade Brigade were fired up for this one and grabbed points at the first opportunity when fullback Dehan Neethling split the poles with a well-struck penalty kick.
That became somewhat of a theme for the day, with Neethling contributing 14 of his side’s points off the tee.
A stunning try by Estian Steyn, just after half-time, and a Neethling penalty lifted the Cape Town outfit into a 19-8 lead, but the Boland boys never dropped their heads and kept battering at the visitors’ defences.
Tries by Ruan Viviers and Hans Verster put the home team in front for the first time, with only eight minutes to go, and a red card to Stellenberg compounded their woes. A try by Enslin Claasen then provided Boland with a little breathing space and prevented the Jade Brigade from repeating their success of 2022, when they last bested the farmers.
Oakdale beat Framesby in a high scoring clash, with Kurt Coetzee starring for the winners and scoring 20 of his side’s 50 points.
