Monument to Good(man) for John McGlashan of New Zealand
John McGlashan College from New Zealand had no answer for the nippiness of Monument’s fullback, Herschelle Goodman, in the main match of the third day of the World Schools Festival in the Markotter Stadium in Stellenbosch.
Goodman completed a hat-trick of tries in his side’s 48-10 victory, but it was the way that he glided through the visitors’ defence that was impressive. With all three of his tries while receiving the ball in the flyhalf-channel he managed to find enough space that no defender managed to lay a hand on him.
His captain and outside centre, Henco van Wyk, also scored a hat-trick of tries as the New Zealand team was put to the sword.
For John McGlashan, their eighthman and captain, Leroy Ferguson, has a big future ahead of him. Ferguson completed a brace of tries and impressed yet again with his strong ball carries.
The match was refereed by South Africa’s most experienced official, Jonathan Kaplan.
Scorers:
Monument 48 (19) – Tries: Herschelle Goodman (3), Henco van Wyk (3), Aiden Robberts, Tiaan de Klerk. Conversions: Byron Wentink (3), Franco Hallett. John McGlashan College 10 (5) – Tries: Leroy Ferguson (2).
