Nick Schenck, Queens College coach from the Eastern Cape, said he was proud of how the team performed, despite their loss. “It’s been a long tour, and the boys fought hard. The kind of performance they put out today was a testament to what we are as a school. We underperformed in our previous two games, but today the boys brought out the belief, skills, and execution.”
Morné Heunes, Hoërskool Noordheuwel’s 16 A team coach, noted that he thought the team played well in the first half, but didn’t take all the opportunities. “Well done to Queens College. They tackled and defended well, but, overall, not too bad from our side.”
