Despatch hand Stars a Trying defeat

By

Despatch continued their triumphant march in the EP Grand Challenge at the weekend, handing the plucky Trying Stars a 45-5 defeat in Despatch.

The Alexandria rookies were coming off two impressive wins and tried hard to halt the Despatch juggernaut, trailing only 19-5 at the break after scoring the first try. But Despatch could not be stopped in the second half and surged to another emphatic win.

PE SAPS kept up their challenge in the competition with a hard-fought 32-25 win over Gardens at Kemsley Park. The match was deadlocked at 25-25 before SAPS scored the winning try in the final five minutes to remain, along with Despatch, the only unbeaten team in the competition.

Other results were: Spring Rose beat 31-6, Windvogel beat Brumbies 27-16, Progress bt Harlequins 13-10, NMMU bt Park 29-17
