Boishaai thumps Golden Lions XV at St Johns’s Festival
The rugby powerhouse Paarl Boys’ High is one of the teams to fear at the 2019 St John’s Easter Rugby Festival, especially for an invitational side such as the Golden Lions Presidential XV. One should never underestimate the underdog as we never know what tricks the Golden Lions Presidential XV might have up their sleeve. Boishaai, however, was ready for anything the Golden Lions Presidential XV might try and slaughtered them with a 59-point victory.
As suspected Paarl Boys’ High opened the scoreboard quite early in the form of Evan Roode (#4). The tighthead prop, Sebastiaan Lombard, busted through the defence for another try. Both tries, as well as a penalty, were converted by Kian Meadon (#10) to give Boishaai a 17-0 lead. Javier Farmer (#11) crosses the line in the right corner and Meadon (#10), with quite some magic, was able to add the extra two points again.
Somehow the Golden Lions Presidential XV managed to turn around momentum and Albert Schutte (#2) scored beneath the sticks with an easy conversion for James Randall (#10). Paarl Boys’ High quickly answered with a 7-pointer, a try by Tyler Brooks (#12) and a conversion by Meadon (#10). Neil Venter (#7) also manages to get his name on the list of try scorers. Meadon (#10) maintained his perfect conversion rate to give Boishaai a 38-7 lead into halftime.
The halftime break did not stop the momentum of Paarl Boys’ as Quan Horn (13) scored at the beginning of the second half. Jade Hendricks (#5) broke through the defence to score another try for Boishaai beneath the uprights. Angelo Osch (23) also got his name on the score sheet with an easy overlap try to take Paarl Boys over the half-century mark.
Stass Nel (20) also benefited from the one-way traffic as he broke the Golden Lions Presidential XV defensive line with ease. Kian Meadon (#10) did not miss a kick and contributed 21 points towards his side’s 66-7 victory.
