Kingswood College scored a convincing 34-22 victory over fierce rivals St. Andrew's College at City Lords on Saturday, with the help of a passionate home crowd.

Kingswood College scored a convincing 34-22 victory over fierce rivals St. Andrew's College at City Lords on Saturday, with the help of a passionate home crowd.

The game got off to a flying start, with the visitors drawing first blood through a try from Ross Ferguson three minutes in. Centre Matt More made no mistake in converting.

Kingswood hit back straight away, as centre Siba Mzanywa darted through for a try, which was converted by fly-half Weston Potgieter.

12 minutes from half-time, Lubambo Sibam crashed over to put the hosts ahead. This time, Potgieter failed to convert.

Five minutes later, More nailed a penalty to put St. Andrew's within touching distance with a penalty. However, Kingswood once again wasted no time responding, with Sibam scoring his second try of the game. Potgieter added the extra two points.

On the stroke of half-time, winger Matthew Takeloo burst through for Kingswood, handing off a tackle to score a sensational try. Potgieter converted once more.

More had a chance to close the gap on the stroke of half-time, but his penalty kick from roughly 40 metres out went wide. Kingswood went into the break with a 26-10 advantage.

The second half got off to a cagey start, although the mobility in Kingswood's forward pack was demonstrated once more by eighth man Jimmy Sholto-Douglas and hooker Okuhle Mbewu, who made significant ground by charging at the St. Andrew's defence.

17 minutes from full-time, Potgieter made the hosts' pressure tell from a penalty kick, increasing Kingswood's lead to 19.

St. Andrew's put the Kingswood defence under sustained pressure for the next 10 minutes, but failed to break through.

Eventually, Kingswood scored a try through full-back Athi Halom – which Potgieter failed to convert.

Halom's opposite number, Ferguson, hit back with his second try of the game. Ferguson tried his hand at converting the try, but was unsuccessful.

As the clock ticked down, St. Andrew's prop and captain Sazi Sandi scored a consolation try. More returned to kicking duties and converted.

However, it was too little, too late – as Kingswood College kept their K-Day crown.
