SACS triumph over Dale
SACS outscored Dale College by three tries to two to pick up a 22-12 win in the second match at the Kearsney Easter Festival.
It was SACS' debut match at this premier schools Easter festival in their 153rd year of rugby, and wearing the blue and white hoops that gave Western Province their colours SACS opened the scoring when flank Dylan Hadzigrigoriou came up with the ball, following a maul that collapsed over the try-line.
The visitors from Cape Town followed up with a second try by hooker Liam Larkin, this time converted by flyhalf Jordan Chait, for a 12-0 lead. Chait increased the lead to 15-0 following a penalty.
Dale gradually started winning more ball and their flair was exhibited when a good line movement ended with centre Jonathan Booysen going over near the corner flag. This left SACS 15-5 ahead at the half-time whistle.
After a closer second half, SACS again opened the scoring with a try from James Brewer which Chait again converted, to increase their lead to 22-5.
Dale eventually scored their second try just before full-time, when Steyn scored and converted, to leave SACS 22-12 surprise winners.
