Wolramme turn the tables on Framesby, while Tigers beat Die Brandwag
The Wolramme from Marlow Landbou managed to turn the tables against Framesby in their clash just outside Cradock on Saturday.
The home side came out on top by 31-26 after trailing by 10-21 at the break. It was thanks to a try just before half-time by their captain and outside centre, Theuns Botha, which kept them in the match.
Framesby easily won the first encounter between the two sides in Gqeberha by 52-12. Their flyhalf and kingpin, Logan Muller, was once again a key player on Saturday for the visiting side.
His trusty boot kept their pack of forwards on the front foot as they enjoyed a breeze from behind in the first half.
The Wolramme only took the lead for the first time with about six minutes left as their fullback, Gideon Jordaan, slotted a penalty from 50 meters out. This gave them a 28-26 lead. He stretched this lead with seconds left on the clock with his fourth and final penalty goal of the game.
Jordaan’s boot contributed 16 points to the victory. The flyhalf, JJ van der Mescht, as well as the inside centre, Christiaan van der Merwe, and the scrumhalf, Kunga Venkile, also deserve a pat on the back.
In the pack of forwards, it was Jan Els (eighthman) and Robert van Zyl (flanker) who produced outstanding performances for the Wolramme. Van Zyl was a nemesis at the breakdowns.
Framesby will face Nico Malan of Humansdorp this weekend in their final clash of the season at home.
The Tigers of HTS Daniël Pienaar are the kings of Uitenhage. They defeated Die Brandwag in a closely contested match by 26-25.
This after they lost by 5-18 against Die Brandwag earlier in the season. The victors’ lock Ntsako Maimela was the standout player on the day. The Tigers still have one match left in 2024 against Muir College.
Pearson travelled to Somerset West where they faced Parel Vallei. The hosts came out on top by 15-10.
Denilo Jordaan, scrumhalf of Pearson, scored all of his side’s points. Parel Vallei’s fullback, Luchen Meyer, also contributed ten points towards his side’s total via a try, conversion and a penalty.
