Loading...Together with some exciting running rugby, the beautiful cloudless day is expected to draw large crowds to the second day of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival today (Saturday).
GAME 1
SELBORNE COLLEGE 21 – HOERSKOOL FRAMESBY 13
Opening the second day of the Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival, it was Selborne College from East London who scored the first points of the game when fly half Morgan Steyn converted a penalty, after very evenly matched play by both teams. It wasn’t long after that when Framesby managed to level the score with a penalty by their no 10 Tiaan Stander.
Selborne impressed with some good running rugby, spreading the ball wide, and was rewarded with a well-deserved try, courtesy of Brandon Perks. It was then the team from Port Elizabeth’s turn to play some running rugby, testing the Selborne defence and they were unlucky not to score just before the half time whistle blew.
Framesby scored a try nine minutes into the second half after camping on their opposition’s try line and Tiaan Stander converted to make it 11 – 10 to Selborne. Soon after that, Selborne increased their one-point lead making it 14 – 10 when Morgan Steyn slotted a penalty right in front of the poles. It was then Tiaan Stander’s turn to bring the score line within one point again, converting a penalty for Framesby with 10 minutes to go.
Tiaan Stander missed his first kick of the match, with an unsuccessful penalty conversion with almost no time on the clock.
In the dying minutes of the game, it was Selborne who sealed their victory though, with Sibahle Dunjana scoring an excellent try and Morgan Steyn converting to give Selborne a well-deserved win.
Former Springboks and Old Selbornians Mark Andrews and Brent Russell were there to support their team, which is the only visiting school to have participated in every Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival since its inception in 2008.
