Graeme make it hard for St Andrew's
In their FNB Classic Clash in perfect weather in Grahamstown on Saturday, St Andrew’s College beat their neighbours Graeme College 10-6 in a match of just one try.
There was just one try partly because of the intensity and courage of the Graeme defence and partly because many penalties broke the continuity.
St Andrew’s did most of the attacking but again found it hard to build phases or develop momentum.
Graeme on the other hand at no stage looked like scoring a try.
