Eastern Province: 3 matches and no points against

By

Eastern Province stamped their authority the SARU Girls Under-16 Interprovincial Series in Durban as they and Western Province advanced unbeaten through the competition last week.

The tournament, which featured 16 teams participating in three rounds of matches last Monday, Wednesday and Friday respectively, was hosted at Glenwood High in Durban.

Eastern Province started their campaign with an encouraging 15-0 victory against the Blue Bulls and built on this form as the series progressed to secure a 29-0 victory against the Leopards and a 20-0 victory against SWD respectively. While their attack was impressive, their defence was particularly outstanding as they did not concede a single point during the tournament.

With the objective of the tournament being to grow women’s rugby and to develop players for senior provincial and national rugby, the tournament is similar to the Coca-Cola Youth Weeks as no official winner is named at the end of the competition.

Eastern Province Results:

  • Day 1: Eastern Province 15 – 0 Blue Bulls
  • Day 2: Eastern Province 29 – 0 Leopards
  • Day 3: Eastern Province 20 – 0 SWD
