WBHS celebrates solid rugby win against Northwood
WBHS also dominated across the board winning 15 out of the 17 fixtures.
WESTVILLE Boys’ High School’s (WBHS) 1st XV rugby team produced a good win against Northwood School in the rain at the weekend.
As the 1st XV teams ran out onto the field the rain started coming down, which levelled the playing fields.
The game started well for WBHS, and from the kick-off, the ball was gathered cleanly, and with very good inter-passing between forwards and backs saw lock Deon Slabbert scoring in the first 30 seconds of the game.
The rest of the game was interrupted with many handling errors in the first half.
Northwood played with the strong wind in the first half and consistent pressure was rewarded with a try, conversion and a penalty kick.
WBHS increased their lead by tries by centre, Brogan Boulle and fullback, Jono Reynecke and two conversions by Brogan Boulle.
At the change WBHS was up 19-10.
In the second half with the wind from behind them WBHS kept the pressure on Northwood by playing the percentage game and keeping them in their own half.
Credit must be given to the Northwood team who defended well.
With the rain still coming down the WBHS converted the pressure into points finishing the game with a solid 36-10 win in trying conditions.
Tries in the second half were scored by Gustav du Randt, Jaryd Lombard and Dylan Labuschagne and a conversion from Dylan Labuschagne.
WBHS also dominated across the board winning 15 out of the 17 fixtures.
