Bulls and Sharks Share Spoils at FNB U16 Grant Khomo Week

Western Province extended their winning run while the Blue Bulls and Sharks battled to a thrilling draw in the second round of the FNB U16 Grant Khomo Week in Pretoria on Wednesday.

The second day of the tournament delivered its fair share of drama, with the Limpopo Bulls, Golden Lions, Namibia, Griffons, Leopards, WP XV, Griquas, Eastern Province and WP claiming victories at St Alban’s College.

The Griffons, Griquas and both WP teams extended their winning runs, while the hosts and the Sharks drew 29-29.

The WP XV fired late against Free State to secure an emphatic 37-18 win, with fullback Dante Davids scoring two tries and flyhalf Divan Meyer – the tournament’s leading point-scorer (32) – kicking four conversions and three penalty goals.

The clash between the Bulls and Sharks lived up to the hype, with Sharks wing Lisa Sijadu scoring two late tries to ensure that his side came away with a draw. If not for a couple of missed conversions, the KwaZulu-Natalians would have recorded their second win of the tournament.

After scoring 55 points against Free State in their opening fixture, WP were made to fight for a 29-21 win over SWD on day two.

Meanwhile, the Lions bounced back from a first round loss to claim an impressive 43-0 win over Boland, with flyhalf Ndzalama Mbhalati kicking four conversions to extend his tournament tally to 23 points.

The Griffons recorded their second win when they beat Border 38-17, while Griquas rallied to beat Zimbabwe 40-25.

The final round of the FNB U16 Grant Khomo Week will be staged at St Alban’s College in Pretoria on Friday, 4 July.
