Gimmies beat Gouties in FNB Classic
Welkom Gimnasium beat neighbours and rivals Goudveld 29-19 in a well-contested FNB Classic Clash at Welkom Gim on Saturday.
Gouties piled on the pressure in the early part of the first half and led 14-7 at the break but Gimmies owned the second half, scoring three tries as the tempo of the match seemed a bit much for the Gouties, worthy opposition though they were.
Gouties' flanks, Andy Jones and Robert Randall, were outstanding. For Gimmies there were noteworthy performances by forwards Romeo Matsole, Matthew Erasmus and Mackie Pelser. Then there was their lively scrumhalf Itumoleng Moahloli.
