KZN claim Girls U18 North Sevens Interprovincial title 

The Durban team set the tone for their dominant showing in their opening match on Friday as they thumped the Limpopo Blue Bulls 25-0. They built on this with a 19-0 victory against the Pumas and a 17-5 win against the Griffons to establish themselves as one of the favourites early on.

The Blue Bulls A team also proved that they could be a force to be reckoned with after overcoming a 5-5 draw against the Golden Lions in their opening match to defeat the Leopards 20-10 and their Blue Bulls B counterparts 37-0 on Friday.

These impressive results allowed the teams to finish day one at the top of the log standings of their respective pools.

KwaZulu-Natal maintained their winning momentum on the second day to topple the Leopards 12-0, while the Blue Bulls A side knocked the Griffons 20-5 to book their places in the final.

The Durban side, however, absorbed the pressure well and capitalised on their point-scoring chances for a well-deserved17-5 victory and the gold medal.

The Leopards, meanwhile, finished the tournament in third position after registering a convincing 22-0 victory against the Griffons in the third and fourth-place playoff.
