HTS Bellville just beat SACS

Match report

HTS Bellville beat SACS 11-10 at HTS Bellville on Saturday.

The following report is from SACS:

SACS and Bellville Tech produced a fine
display of rugby at Bellville on Saturday. That Bellville Tech won was due to the fact that they made better use of their chances and thus deserved to win!

They led 8-7 at the break following a try and penalty from their Craven Week centre, Therlow Pietersen. SACS points came from a well-worked Dane Galley try - stand in kicker for the ill Simon Minnaar, Carl Lewis converted the try.

In the second half SACS played some wonderful rugby but poor finishing on at least five occasions denied them well deserved points. Pietersen added another penalty which was cancelled out by a Lewis penalty to make the final score 11-10 to the home side.

The game was well controlled by Jerome America and was marked by outstanding defensive work on both sides.

SACS Team: Bradley Milne, Michael Vermeulen, Marc Gillmer, Elio Da Silva, Michael Kretschmer, Carl Lewis, Byron Goldberg (vice-captain), Kevin Dolley, Kyle Brown, Brett Edwards, Dane Galley, Matthew Golder, David Brits, Daniel Sorrell (captain), Robert MacSymon
