Zimbabwean school, Lomagundi College and the Helpmekaar Barbarians played to a nail-biting 10-10 all draw, while Benoni High (BHS) beat Ashton Ballito 40-0, to close-off the rugby programme on the third day of the St Dunstan’s Easter Sports Festival.

Billed as the game to watch, especially after Helpies’ dominance of St George’s on Thursday, while Lomagundi eased past Springs Boys High, it lived up to expectation with the crowds on the stands and on the refreshment tent on the edge of their seats.

On the B-field, BHS made it two from two, scoring 40 unanswered points in their defence of Benoni after the hosts; St Dunstan’s lost 34-0 to Thomas More College.

Elsewhere, CBC Boksburg narrowly lost 24-20 to Hellenic Academy, while Springs Boys beat St John’s Harare seconds 22-5 in the earlier kick-off.

Midlands Christian School beat St Peter’s College 19-17 in another nail-biter, while Hillcrest beat Heritage School 22-17.
