School league sifts out the best
Lowveld High School's first rugby team qualified for the Mpumalanga Medium Rugby School semi-finals this past weekend at Penryn College after beating Hoërskool Barberton 32-19.
LHS were up against Penryn’s first XV who are unbeaten this season. Penryn maintained possession of the ball through multiple phases of play and converted this into scoring opportunities.
The home team’s forwards successfully carried the ball over the advantage line and fast service from the Penryn scrum half did not allow Lowveld’s defensive lines to reform.
The half-time score was 13-0 to Penryn. In the second half the visitors’ side had a few opportunities to run the ball, but Penryn’s defence held and Lowveld appeared to have run out of options. Penryn scored another two tries in the second half for a convincing 25-0 win.
The u/15 side of LHS also participated at Penryn on Saturday, losing to Hoërskool Oosterland 0-12.
