The St Andrew’s College 1st rugby side were not able to deliver a technically good performance in their game against Queen’s College on Saturday, but still managed a 21-6 win.
With a number of players taking part in the Eastern Province Craven Week trials on Friday afternoon the energy levels were a bit low and the usual spark was missing.
The team however dug deep and used the supportive and vocal home crowd to inspire them to play with passion and commitment against a defensively organised and spirited Queen’s team.
The first half was a stop/start affair with a number of penalties and reset scrums, and so both teams never developed any rhythm or flow and the first half ended with St Andrew’s leading 5–3.
The second half carried on in much the same manner as what had happened in the first half. St Andrew’s were however able to use their territorial advantage better in this half and score more often from visits to the opponents half.
The end score was a comfortable but hard fought 21–6 victory to St Andrew’s. Ryan Black scored one try for St Andrew’s, while Dane van der Westhuizen scored one try and put over three penalties and one conversion.
