Sarel Cilliers yet again dominated Derby Day rugby, with a 19 – 5 victory over hosts and neighbours, Dundee High.

DHS last won more than 12 yeras ago, and this year, with its first rugby team unbeaten in the school league, had an excellent chance to tame the Blue Lions.

The game started at a frantic pace, with DHS pressing the Sarel tryline.  DHS were unlucky not to have chalked up the first points of the game when a penalty kick saw the ball bounce off the upright. Sarel soaked up the pressure and gradually started penetrating the Reds’ defence.

Willem Husselman of Sarel broke the deadlock with a flying try, followed by wing, Aphiwe Nkosi, dotting down after accelerating past the defence. Another Sarel try made the halftime score 19 – 0.

Sarel did not score in the second half, although the Lions did cross the Dundee try line, with both tries disallowed.

DHS finally scored after a sustained period of pressure, but it was too little, too late. Sarel claimed victory and celebrated the occasion in style.

The Haka – Sarel Cilliers style…
