Home victory for Overberg over Hoërskool Langenhoven
In Caledon, on Saturday, Hoërskool Overberg enjoyed a home victory over Die Hoërskool Langenhoven, producing a strong first half performance to set up their 29-12 win.
Ovies‘ captain and eighthman, Johan Beukes, delivered a phenomenal performance in front of his home crowd. He shut off Langenhoven’s momentum at the breakdown, while, on offence, his powerful carries earned him two tries.
The home side’s centres, Lee Abotsi and Favian Arendse, both put in big shifts in the midfield. They were like an extra pair of flanks, making sound tackles and often challenging at the rucks. Abotsi crossed for a try of his own, while Arendse tacked on two conversions.
Down 0-17 at the break, the visitors from Riversdal were frustrated. After the break, though, they dialled up their intensity, which made for an evenly contested second half.
Flank Dylan Labuschagne and hooker Francois Myburgh, played their hearts out to each score a try. They forced the Ovies’ defence onto the back foot, and, at times, it looked as if they could inspire a comeback.
After sharing the spoils in the second half, Langenhoven will look back on the match and think they could have had a shot at victory if they had been on their game from the start.
