Kroonstad remains bright red
Kroonstad was again divided into red and blue, and the 'red army' reigned supreme as they ran 12 tries past the opposition.
*Meanwhile, the Queenstown derby produced a more closely contested match as Hangklip and Aliwal North shared the spoils in a 10-all draw.
Rooiskool 80-10 Blouskool
Rooiskool were in the driving seat as soon as the match commenced. They kept pressure on Blouskool, who simply could not handle the wave of relentless attacks. Rooiskool captain Marinus Aucamp opened the scoring, and the tries continued to flood in from that point.
Rooiskool scored five unanswered tries that saw them take a 35-0 lead at the break.
Blouskool tried to produce something for the crowd, but Rooiskool's attack proved too strong, as they added a further seven tries. Dian de Beer bagged four, Brendan van der Walt scored a hat trick while Aucamp and Martin Heyns touched down for two tries each.
Despite the game being well and truly out of their grasps, Blouskool managed to score two tries of their own but that proved to be mere consolation.
The scorers:
For Rooiskool:
Tries: Marinus Aucamp 2, Martin Heyns 2, Brendan van der Walt 3, Dian de Beer 4, Ivan Otto
Cons: Brandan van der Walt 10
For Blouskool: TBC
Aliwal North 10-10 Hangklip
The hosts, Aliwal North looked more threatening with ball in hand while Hangklip struggled to found their rhythm. Both sides failed to utilise their try scoring opportunities in the first half but Aliwal took a slender 3-0 lead to the locker rooms, thanks to a Kyle Creyvenstein penalty.
The hosts again appeared more likely to score at the start of the second half and they did just that. Thembaletu Kojana went over the chalk to score the first try of the match, as a result of a turnover ball. Creyvenstein added the extras, 10-0 to Aliwal North.
The try seemed to have raised Hangklip's spirit, as the visitors started to get into the match and put on some gutsy attacks. Hangklip finally got rewarded with their first try when a good break by flyhalf CJ de Ridder narrowed the deficit to only five points.
Hangklip applied more pressure on Aliwal's try-line. Aliwal managed to clear their lines, however the kick went straight into the hands of Hangklip's wing Francois du Plessis who scored in the corner to level the match.
The scorers:
For Aliwal North:
Try: Thembaletu Kojana
Con: Kyle Creyvenstein
Pen: Kyle Creyvenstein
