CC: Massive win for Florida

Hoërskool Florida played Hoërskool Marais Viljoen in Florida on the sunny West Rand in an FNB Classic Clash on Saturday. One would normally expect a close encounter but this time Florida won 65-0.

Florida had several replacements in its starting team but from the very start of the match they gave the ball air and by half-time already led 44-0 and because of the mounting score the match was cut short in the second half..

For Florida it was a try-fest and the player who enjoyed it most was speedy Tshepo Mooki, who scored a hat-trick of tries.

The other wing, Ché Stevens, scored two tries as did Jaco Barnard who came in to centre. That tells you something of the nature of the Florida game.

The teams played nine matches against each other. Florida won five - including the Under-16A (50-31) and the Under-14A (52-19) encounters.
