    Kingswood College secured a superb 20-19 win over their cross-town rivals, St Andrew's College – their first win since 2011 – at this year’s K-Day 1st XV rugby fixture, which took place on St Andrew's’ Lower Field on Saturday.

    Kingswood College secured a superb 20-19 win over their cross-town rivals, St Andrew's College – their first win since 2011 – at this year’s K-Day 1st XV rugby fixture, which took place on St Andrew's’ Lower Field on Saturday.

    Kingswood drew first blood with a 3 pointer from flyhalf, Daine Kruger, after the home side conceded a penalty at the breakdown.

    St Andrew's fired back a while later when a few sublime, simple passes down the right saw flanker, Seb Mulders, dive over for an easy score, which flyhalf, Anthony Dakin, converted.

    The first half score was low but Herculean defensive efforts from both sides kept the crowd enthralled.

    St Andrew's went into the break with a 7-3 lead. St Andrew's got the second half underway with a try under the poles after a successful lineout drive.

    This was followed by a break from Kingswood lock, Mark Mutuku, who offloaded in the tackle to Kruger who sent the ball wide to full-back, Athi Halom.

    Halom rounded a defender then chipped the ball over the final St Andrew's defensive casualty to score and Kruger converted.

    Within the last twelve minutes of play, the away side scored another try in the opposition’s right-hand corner but the conversion was missed to make it a one point game.

    Another Kingswood try took their lead to six points at 20-14.

    In the dying minutes of the game, St Andrews had two tries disallowed for a forward pass and being held up respectively.

    In a dramatic finish, St Andrews did eventually score after the hooter.

    However, they didn't manage to convert and so handed Kingswood their much sought after victory.
