Gimmies win - again

Before twice the crowd which watched Western Province at Newlands, Paarl Gimnasium beat Paarl Boys' High 10-0. This was the fourth successive victory for Gimmies.

The record winning sequence is five matches - nearly 90 years ago.

Gim thoroughly deserved their victory as they dominated territory and possession but as always Boys' High were filled with passionate determination. The result was yet another tight Interschools.

Johann Sadie, Gimmies' outstanding centre, scored the only try of the match. That was in the first half. At the break Gimmies led 7-0.
