Warriors dunk Dolphins at Douglas Mitchell
Their next game is against Varsity College at home (Genesis Youth Centre field) on Saturday, July 23.
South Coast Warriors encountered a new-look Ballito rugby team in their KZN First Division South league clash at Douglas Mitchell Sports Ground last Saturday.
Ballito has recently been joined by players from Walter Sisulu University and they came out firing and physical.
The Warriors saw off the waves of attack and after about 30 minutes took full control of the match to eventually win 36-0 and keep their unbeaten run going.
The home team ran in six unanswered tries, with Josh Walden scoring a hat-trick, Graeme Bester dotting down twice and Westley Nyman scoring the other one.
Daryn Nyman slotted three conversions.
Men of the match were Jason Kobben (forwards) and Josh Walden (backs).
The Warriors have a bye this week and will host Harlequins RC on Saturday, July 9.
Squad: Jade Nyman, Coenie Bezuidenhout, Lourens Stapelberg, Jason Kobben, Tiaan Breytenbach, Sphesihle Mbili, Josh Walden, Tyreek Naicker, Dylan Kroon, Daryn Nyman, Gareth Pieterse, Graeme Bester, Sheldon Rivabella, Tiaan van Staden and Jeandré Michau. Bench – Wessel Strydom, Xolani Natyi, Jason Olivier, Lunga Madlala, Westley Nyman, Duan Potgieter, Gert Pieterse and Tim Louw.

There were five conversions by Gert Pieterse.
Men of the match were Jason Olivier (forwards) and Taine Booker (backs).
