The Eastern Province rugby team is still unbeaten at
the u/18 Craven Week in George after a hard-fought victory over Boland.
After beating Free State on Monday, EP won an
entertaining match 40-26 on Wednesday afternoon at Outeniqua Park.
The EP boys had to work much harder for the victory than
the score line might suggest, scoring six tries against four in the end.
Although EP always had their nose in front and looked
the better team, they were pushed all the way by the gutsy Bolanders.
The EP loose forwards De Wet Fourie, Batho Hlekani and
Burrie van Heerden were very effective throughout the match and played a huge
role in the victory.
Hlekani was named as the Player of the Match.
Results of Day 3:
EP 40-26 Boland
Free State 54-14 Western Province
SWD 22-19 Valke
