Monument rules at home in High School Sevens Series
Monument made full use of their home-ground advantage as both their u17 and u15 teams won the High School Sevens, proudly presented by Toyota tournaments in Krugersdorp on Saturday.
It was one-way traffic in the u17 competition as the Wit Bulle ran riot. They were barely tested.
In each of their first three matches, they racked up more than a half-century of points, including 80 against Eye of the Tiger. Only their fourth outing was competitive, but comfortable, with Monnas downing the Noordheuwel Invitation side 28-10.
Jeppe was brushed aside 42-0 in the semi-finals and Dinamika overrun 43-5 in the title decider.
In the Plate final, Marais Viljoen surprised a deflated Jeppe outfit, and Helpmekaar secured the Bowl with a victory over Alberton.
The u15 competition proved to be a two-horse race between the Krugersdorp powerhouses.
It wasn’t until the Cup semi-finals that Monument conceded a point. By then, they had already racked up 151 in their previous three matches. Noordheuwel, meanwhile, also boasted an unblemished defensive record. They had tallied 116 points in victories over Monument 2, Eye of the Tiger, and Dinamika.
Monnas were finally extended in the Cup semis, where they won 24-10 over Helpmekaar, while their Krugersdorp rivals, Noordheuwel, cruised to a 33-0 defeat of Dinamika.
There was little to separate the sides in the final, but Monument grabbed the trophy with a hard-fought 12-7 victory.
In the Bowl final, Monnas added another title, with Monument 2 beating Garsfontein 33-17, while Helpmekaar hoisted the Plate with a tight 17-12 win over Dinamika.
