Craven Week Results, Final Day

The last morning of the 2011 Craven Week started fine, crisp with the promise of even better as the sun got going.

The weather was much the same as all week, and the rugby much the same as well – another high-scoring match and another big victory on this day of ‘strength vs strength’.

But the other two early matches produced exciting encounters.

Final Day’s Results:

Leopards vs Border Country Districts, 83-21
Griffons vs Valke, 34-28
Eastern Province vs Boland, 34-34
Namibia vs Zimbabwe, 55-18

Pumas vs Western Province, 39-34
Blue Bulls vs KwaZulu-Natal, 29-8
Border vs South Western Districts, 40-22
Eastern Province Country Districts vs Griquas Country Districts, 29-19
Free State vs Golden Lions, 28-17

Leopards vs Border Country Districts, 83-21

Playing at Hoërskool Diamantveld, the Leopards led 43-6 at half-time.

In their three matches Border Country Districts conceded 184 points. Last year they were better, conceding 152 points. Clearly they are a team that needs a rethink – has needed a rethink for some time.
