    St. Andrew’s College got their Bishops Independent Schools Rugby Festival fixtures off to a flying start, scoring over 50 points in their victory over St. David’s Marist Inanda.

    St. Andrew’s College got their Bishops Independent Schools Rugby Festival fixtures off to a flying start, scoring over 50 points in their victory over St. David’s Marist Inanda.

    The Grahamstown side got off to a superb start, with quickfire tries from Thomas Stevens; Jake Allanson; and Ross Ferguson. Matt More was on kicking duties, and converted the first and the third of these tries – only missing the kick that followed Allanson’s.

    On the stroke of half-time, St. Andrew’s pulled ahead even further with a try from Sazi Sandi. More converted once again and his side thus went into the break with a resounding 26-0 lead.

    St. David’s responded well in the early phases of the second half, putting pressure on the St. Andrew’s try line. However, they were unable to find the decisive breakthrough.

    A more clinical St. Andrew’s side made their opponents pay, surging further ahead. More chipped in with a try of his own, which he converted, and substitute Christian Roebert added another soon after. More’s conversion from Roebert’s try took St. Andrew’s over the 40-point mark.

    However, St. Andrew’s did not rest on their laurels. Their winger, Byron Sharwood, soon added another try. Murray Koster took up kicking duties, and successfully converted.

    St. David’s were finally rewarded for their perseverance when Joseph Lebos scored their first try of the game. However, Richard Turner’s conversion attempt sailed wide.

    Lebos’ try proved to be the only time St. Davids’ troubled the scorers. Ferguson promptly ran in the final try – his second of the game.

    Although Koster missed his conversion attempt, the damage had well and truly been done. St. Andrew’s claimed a 52-5 victory that had never looked in doubt.
