Durbanville are Cape Schools Sevens u17 champs, Paul Roos crowned u15 winners
U17 Competition
Hoërskool Durbanville played the role of spoiler, preventing Hugenote from recording a fairytale win at home by romping to a 42-5 victory over the hosts in the Cup final of the Cape Schools Sevens, on another weekend of high-octane High Schools Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota, action.
In the key result of Saturday’s event, Durbies knocked over the favourites, Paul Roos Gimnasium (PRG), in the semi-finals, scoring a narrow 19-17 win. Hugenote, meanwhile, accounted for Milnerton, securing their spot in the final with a 24-19 victory.
Durbanville exited Pool B, arguably the most wide-open of the four groups, ahead of Worcester Gim and the Forward Foundation. Paul Roos topped Pool A, Hugenote finished at the head of Pool C, and Milnerton ruled Pool C.
The Bowl title went the way of the Forward Foundation, who beat Augsburg Landbou by eight points in a 60-point thriller. Parel Vallei downed Worcester Gim 12-7 in a tight Plate final before Durbanville powered their way to the Cup honours.
U15 Competition
In the u15 competition, Paul Roos lived up to their favourites’ tag by lifting the title.
Their challenge began with a surprisingly tough 22-14 victory over Langenhoven Gim, but that was a scoreline that they would enjoy later when they beat Boland Landbou in the Cup final by the same score.
PRG conceded points in only one other game, winning their Cup semi-final against Hugenote 37-15.
Boland Landbou, meanwhile, charged through their group assignments, putting up 94 points in their wins over Augsburg Landbou and Worcester Gim. They convincingly dealt with Milnerton in the quarterfinals, winning by 31 points, but their semi-final against Porterville was an arm wrestle, with the farmers taking it 15-7.
The Forward Foundation, edged out by only three points by Durbanville for second place in Pool D, turned their fortunes around in the Bowl playoffs, blanking Lagenhoven Gim and Augsburg Landbou to win the Bowl.
Durbanville missed out on winning Pool D after falling 20-28 to Hugenote in the key pool contest, which thrust Durbies into a quarterfinals clash with Paul Roos. The Stellenbosch boys cruised to a 38-0 victory. Durbanville recovered well, though, beating Boland Landbou 2 28-17 and, then, Worcester Gim 50-0 to claim the Plate.
