Pretoria Boys’ High manage to outplay Transvalia at KERF2019
In contrast to the earlier game, the second game of Day 2 between Hoerskool Transvalia and Pretoria Boys High saw few points in the first half. At the break, it was Transvalia leading 5-3.
Pretoria was the first to score with a penalty by Jaden Collaros. Transvalia’s scrumhalf Dewald Stoop used some neat footwork to get over for a try, but the conversion was just wide, giving them the 5-3 lead. Both teams came close to scoring again but mistakes in the final pass prevented any further points.
The scores were levelled midway through the second half when wing Dian de Villiers picked up a difficult pass to dive over. With just 10 minutes remaining, prop Wandile Madodonke barged over from a lineout and again the conversion was wide, but Pretoria Boys led 15-10.
Boys High sealed the game when Collaros went over under the poles as he added the extra points to lead 22-10 with minutes remaining.
In the final move of the game after concerted pressure in the red zone, Transvalia’s prop Willem Coertzen barged over, converted by fullback Lee-Andrew du Preez, to bring Transvalia to within five points of Boys High.
The second half was more entertaining but Boys High used their chances better for the 22-17 win.
Scorers:
Pretoria Boys: Tries Caldwell, Madodonke, Collaros; Conversions Collaros (2); Penalty Van Rooyen
Transvalia: Tries Stoop, De Villiers, Coertzen; Conversions Du Preez (2)
