Results | Day Two | LSEN Week 2025
Boland kicked off day two of the 2025 LSEN Week, at Hoërskool Hoogenhout in Bethal, with an emphatic 40-8 win over Free State on Monday, led by an outstanding performance from Ismael Wiemers.
The Weskus SOS outside centre starred on both attack and defence to deservedly bag the man of the match award.
A fired-up South Western Districts side proved to be too much for the Blue Bulls to handle and the team from the Western Cape powered their way to a 38-20 win.
Van Kerval outside centre, Brendan-junior Kasanya, ran in a superb hattrick to lead his side to victory, which earned him the man of the match award.
The Pumas bounced back from their 7-37 loss to the Griffons in their opener on Saturday, outplaying the Sharks 29-7
Tighthead prop WH de Klerk proved to be a handful for the boys in black and white. He challenged them with his physicality and also twice broke through for tries. Man of the match award earned!
The Leopards, meanwhile, pulled off an exciting 50-40 victory over the Griffons in a 90-point thriller.
Man of the match, Oom Paul scrumhalf, Hansie Visser, pulled the strings for the Leopards, distributing the ball with speed, which enabled his side to exploit space, and that led to an astounding eight tries.
Last year’s unofficial champions, Eastern Province, knocked the Valke out of the sky, rampaging to a 50-10 victory.
Westview right wing, Rylan Hawkins, used his raptor-like speed to fly through the defence for a brace of tries, which secured him the man of the match honours.
Western Province outplayed the Lions, cruising to a 55-10 win, highlighted by some brilliant performances from multiple individuals.
None of them shone brighter than Jan Kriel number 10 Yusuf Hannibal. He walked away with the man of the match award, thanks to the assured manner in which he directed his team from flyhalf. He also crossed for a brace of tries and landed a penalty.
The final day’s matches, on Tuesday, include an unofficial final between Eastern Province and Western Province for a second year in succession.
