Klein Nederburg overwhelms New Orleans, Swartland overhauls Punt
Klein Nederburg roared to a 40-17 win over their rivals, New Orleans, in their Paarl Derby at the Faure Street Stadium, on Saturday.
After five defeats in succession, it was Klein Nederburg’s second win over New Orleans on the trot.
Thanks to the good quality ball won by their dominant pack, Klein Nederburg doubled up New Orleans, crossing for six tries to three.
In Malmesbury, the third time was the charm as Hoërskool Swartland, the losers of their first two matches of the third term, fought back from a 3-5 halftime deficit to run in three second half tries and beat Hoërskool Punt 25-15.
Competing at the breakdown with ferocious spirit, the hosts enjoyed the lions’ share of the possession in the second half, which led to them creating attacking opportunity after attacking opportunity.
Punt mustered three tries themselves, but they gave away costly penalties under pressure from the Swartland forwards.
Flyhalf De Wet van Aswegen led with the boot for the home team, landing two conversions and two penalties, which proved to be one of the big differences in the match.
Next Saturday, Swartland will set their sights on another win when they host Hoërskool Hugenote.
