Cambridge u17s win Lilyfontein Sevens, Graeme crowned u15 champs
U17
Cambridge High School captured the u17 title and Graeme College lifted the silverware in the u15 age group when the High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota, stopped at Lilyfontein in the Eastern Cape on the weekend.
Cambridge ploughed through their opposition until the semi-finals, where they were given a stern examination by Hudson Park before emerging with a 22-17 victory.
Meanwhile, Port Rex, beaten 17-10 by Hangklip in their Pool B clash, reversed that result when they met in the semi-finals, winning 22-12, to book a place in the final.
In a very tight contest, only a made conversion separated the sides as Cambridge claimed a 14-12 victory.
The Bowl went the way of George Randell, who held on for a 20-15 win over Beaconhurst, while Queen’s College cruised to a 29-5 defeat of Lilyfontein in the Plate final.
u15
Graeme College was the class of the u15 competition, rolling to the title in emphatic fashion. Only once were they scored upon, but that came in a comfortable 39-7 win over the Mdantsane Hurricanes. In their other four matches, they blanked their opposition.
Their semi-final win over the same side was a tough battle, but Graeme took it 17-0. It was tighter still in the final against Hudson Park, but a clean defensive record ensured Graeme claimed the title after a 12-0 victory.
The hosts, Lilyfontein, lifted the Bowl, following a 24-5 win over Ebenezer Majombozi, while Cambridge captured the Plate after a 12-5 triumph against De Vos Malan.
