Magic Milnerton tops Tygerberg, Durbanville powers home in second half
On Saturday, despite playing away in Parow, Milnerton was too much for Tygerberg and charged to a 47-12 victory.
Fullback Chadlin Sellidon led the way, scoring a try and landing six conversions, as Milnerton produced an excellent all-round team performance to record an emphatic win.
Sellidon scored his try in the 29th minute. It began with a superb run down the sideline and was finished after he sidestepped the nearest defender.
From the start, Milnerton took the game by the scruff of the neck and by halftime they had forged a 26-7 advantage.
Tygerberg struggled to build momentum and often had their set-piece moves suffocated by the visitors’ blitzing rush defence. Milnerton, meanwhile used their captain and big inside centre Morgan Lodewyk to cross the gain line from first phase ball, which set up the visitors for further go-forward ball.
Tygerberg will need to take a look back on the game to figure out what changes they need to make for the challenge of Strand next Saturday.
In Durbanville, the hosts were on song, defeating Brackenfell 45-21.
Flanks Zay-Winn Januarie and Ethan Swartz were equally brilliant, crossing for two tries apiece.
Durbies was on the scoresheet first, thanks to a flying 50-metre run by Zayde Cloephas down the left wing.
Brackenfell fought back hard, though, dotting down twice, to take a narrow 14-7 half-time lead.
The second half was a different story altogether. Durbanville’s assault began when they scored in the first minute from a lineout maul, with captain Juan Smit finishing the 10-metre drive with a dive for five.
Brackenfell began losing the set-piece battle and had few answers for Durbanville’s rolling maul. Just five minutes after their first second half try, Durbies drew in the defence with a maul, then sent the ball out wide. After a couple of phases on the five-metre line, eighthman Adriaan Freemante, worked his way over the try-line to further bolster the hosts’ tally.
There was a consolation try for Brackenfell in the last five minutes of the contest, with an inside pass setting flyhalf Junior Louw free to touch down unscathed. Durbies, though, after a 38-point second half, won comfortably.
Next Saturday, Durbanville hosts HTS Belville, while Brackenfell visits SACS.
