Graeme College faced Nico Malan in Grahamstown on Saturday the 3 rd of May. After the 12-12 draw between these two teams in Humansdorp last year one would’ve expected another tight encounter, however, it was the complete opposite as Graeme dominated proceedings to record a 46-10 victory. The Graeme College 1stXV was relentless in the first half as they played with the wind and Nico Malan struggled to get out of their own half.
Even though Graeme did make some unforced errors early on in the game they soon got into their running and produced some moments of brilliance as they led 27-0 at the break. Nico Malan struck back twice early on in the 2 nd half to bring the score back to 27-10. Thereafter Graeme crossed the try line three times to make the final score 46-10.
Matthew Robertson and Phely Ngoma each crossed the try line twice while Bukhosi Mhlambiso had a great game for Graeme scoring 21 points. Graeme College will take confidence from the game and look forward to the challenge against Queens College next Saturday.
