Glenwood outclass all opposition in Vryheid
Glenwood of Durban came back with a bang in the fifth leg of the High Schools’ 7’s Series which took place at Pionier in Vryheid. Glenwood was crowned champions on Saturday after beating Die Anker from Brakpan handsomely by 43-0 in the final.
Glenwood narrowly missed out on the title of the third leg of the series as well as a place in the prestigious Champion of Champions tournament which will be held at Camp Discovery just north of Pretoria on 20 and 21 October. Glenwood hosted the fourth leg in Durban, but lost in the final to arch-rivals Durban High School (17-14).
Glenwood was in a league of their own as they cruised past Pionier II (59-0), Vryheid (45-0) and Rustenburg (27-0) in their three pool matches without conceding a single point. The only side who managed to score any points against this outfit of Glenwood was Westville Boys’ High in the semi-final. Glenwood won the match by 26-12.
Die Anker booked their place in the final by beating Pionier by 7-5 in a tightly contested match.
Durban High School had to settle for the Bowl as they defeated Vryheid by 31-19 in the final. Rustenburg who was crowned champions of the fourth leg the previous week was knocked out in the quarterfinal by Westville Boys’ High (17-12).
The series will move to Krugersdorp next with Noordheuwel hosting the sixth leg this Saturday. All the games will be live streamed on Fanstream.co.za.
