In a pulsating Super League C encounter that went right down to the wire, All Saints snatched a dramatic one-point victory over Strand United at a packed Abattoir Sports Ground on Saturday (3 May). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second consecutive week, rugby enthusiasts flocked to the Helderberg venue, underscoring the vibrant health of community rugby in the region.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Super Leage C match lived up to its billing, delivering a breathtaking spectacle of attacking rugby from the outset. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Saints drew first blood, capitalising on a Strand United error at the line-out close to their own try line. United responded almost immediately with a scintillating try finished off by the talented Angelo Adams, igniting the vocal crowd.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

United then opted to bring their powerful forward pack into play, a tactic that yielded another try before half-time, as burly lock forward Zain \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gertze powered his way over the whitewash. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saints managed to cross the line again, taking a slender 12-10 lead into the break.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second half was a fierce battle of attrition, with both sets of forwards throwing everything into the contest. All Saints held a distinct advantage in the line-outs, disrupting United’s set-pieces. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the tireless efforts of Zane Daniels and Rameez Ramjee, who were outstanding in general play for Strand United, All Saints managed to add two more tries to their tally in the second stanza.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home team clawed their way back into contention with a try at the death, reducing the deficit to a single point. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite enjoying a numerical advantage in the dying seconds, United failed to capitalise, fumbling the ensuing kick-off and bringing a thrilling encounter to a dramatic close, leaving All Saints to celebrate a hard-fought 26-27 victory. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
