Scintillating Scheffer helps Oakdale secure their first away victory against the Kwaggas since 2015
Oakdale Landbou secured their first away victory against the Kwaggas from Outeniqua since 2015 in the King Price Derby Series thanks to a scintillating performance by outside centre, Anrich Scheffer.
It was a comprehensive victory of 50-7 against their old foe, with Scheffer scoring a brace of tries as his team ran in seven tries on the day. Oakdale also won last year’s encounter comfortably with 60-8 on De Eike just outside Riversdale.
The Kwaggas managed to keep Oakdale’s two dangermen, Christian Vorster (inside centre) and Kai Pratt (loosehead prop), at bay but this opened the opportunity for Scheffer to utilise the space offered to him.
Scheffer also had a hand in a couple of his side’s other tries.
Oakdale made their intent clear early on in the match as fullback, Reinhart Viljoen, dived over after only two minutes to open the scoring.
Rondebosch Boys’ High vs Wynberg Boys’ High
It’s usually a Saturday fixture, but Rondebosch Boys’ High hosted Wynberg Boys’ High on Friday morning, in respect of Eid ul-Adha.
Both teams entered the King Price Derby Series match off recent victories and showed strong form. Wynberg started fast, with outside centre, Kunene Gadu, scoring early and again before halftime.
Rondebosch responded through scrumhalf Caleb Bell and others, narrowing the gap to 26-19 at the break. In a thrilling second half, Bell scored again to level it, and Rondebosch briefly led.
Wynberg tied the game, then clinched it when scrumhalf, Morné Noble, took a quick tap and sprinted 40 metres to score. Wynberg won 38-33 in a closely fought, high-quality contest.
Hilton College vs Northwood
Hilton College produced a superb 35-22 win over Northwood on their Old Boys’ Day in a King Price Derby Series clash.
Bouncing back from a loss to Durban High School, Hilton impressed with a balanced performance, blending physical forward play with sharp backline execution. Captain Liyema Nela led the way, contributing with the boot and assisting tries.
Early scores from James Peattie and Zander Vorster gave Hilton a 20-5 halftime lead. Northwood fought back, narrowing the gap to 23-22 with tries from Abenathi Ntsele and a penalty try.
