U13 CW: Big wins for WP, Blue Bulls

On Day 2 of the Under-13 Craven Week taking place at Grey College in Bloemfontein, the Blue Bulls recorded their second big win over Eastern Cape opposition as five teams, including archrivals Western Province, remained unbeaten.

Eastern Province, Griffons and Namibia recorded their first wins of the Week, but by far the biggest disappointment of the tournament so far have been hosts Free State, who followed up their 15-10 loss to South Western Districts in the main game on Day 1 with a 26-12 defeat to KwaZulu-Natal in Tuesday's final match.

The Bulls followed up their 31-6 victory over Eastern Province on Monday with a 34-10 win against Border, while WP, Griquas, South Western Districts and the Valke also made it two from two going into Thursday's third round.

It was a day for the eighthmen to shine, Western Province No.8 Zakareeyah Sallie going over for a hat-trick of tries in his side's 45-0 drubbing of the Leopards and Bulls counterpart Dylan Nysschen scoring three against Border to take his try tally for the Week to four.

Western Province were in particularly devastating form, their 36-5 win over the Pumas on Day 1 backed up by a complete performance against the team from North West, of which much was expected following their 56-0 victory over Zimbabwe on Monday.

It's so sad that great tournament founded on lots of generous effort produces only gossip.
