After seeing away with Dinamika (33-12), St Stithians (52-7) and Marais Viljoen (35-26) to end on top of their group, the Nories eliminated the hosts from the competition in the semi-finals, beating them by 38-14, before going on to take the trophy with a 28-19 victory over Helpmekaar.

With this, Noordheuwel have booked their spot in the Championship tournament in Bloemfontein at the end of the season, where they will be competing against the other champions in the series for the ultimate prize.

The sevens action at Monument continues next weekend, when they host the Frogfoot Noordvaal provincial tournament.

The hosts’ younger boys defended their pride well this weekend in the u15 tournament.

Monument won the Cup, Bowl and Shield with their three teams in the junior competition.

The u15 A team beat Helpmekaar by 28-12 for the top honour, their B team claimed the Bowl after getting by Wagpos narrowly by 14-12 and a Monument Invitational squad that replaced Cooper College in the lineup this weekend made it all the way to the Shield final where they beat Trinity House by 12-10.
