It was a stylish home win for the Saints’ boys in their league opener.
Their hooker, Lucien Hugo, spearheaded the attack and went over for a brace of tries, with further five-pointers being scored by Eduan van den Heever and Tumelo Lebepe, which was more than enough to secure a convincing victory at home and draw a line under an exciting day of rugby.
Earlier in the day, Brandfort recorded an impressive victory over Zastron with their hooker, Xander van Heerden, also leading the charge and scoring a hat-trick.
Big Greyven Dempsey brought his tally for their last three games to 10 tries by adding another brace to his record.
Last year, these two met in the league final, with Brandfort edging that match 29-27, so Saturday’s victory bodes well for the boys from Brandfort.
Sand du Plessis ran rampant against Bloemfontein South, winning 55-7, with Shaun Maina scoring 15 points.
However, President Steyn’s exciting centre, Juanricht Swanepoel, was the most destructive player of the day. He crossed the try line on four occasions as they crushed Heatherdale 52-8.
To their credit, Heatherdale never stopped asking questions of the Steyners’ defence and their lanky no. 4 lock, Simpiwe Jiyane, was rewarded with a try.
