Leopards beat EP

By

Eastern Province slipped to a slender one point defeat to the Leopards on Tuesday at the Under-13 Coca-Cola Craven Week at Hoërskool Rob Ferreira in White River, Mpumalanga.

Meanwhile DHL Western Province, Boland and SWD stamped their authority as they secured vital victories in the biggest match-ups of the day to stay in contention for places Friday’s final match.

The first half between Eastern Province and the Leopards was tight as the teams tried hard to gain ascendancy. Eastern Province, however, built up a 10-3 lead thanks to a converted try and a penalty, while they limited the Leopards to a single penalty in the half.

The Leopards, however, fought back strongly after the break with Armand Cloete scoring two tries and Theuns Steyn one – the last try of which was three minutes from the final whistle – while Eastern Province managed to score only one converted try, which left them with a disappointing 18-17 defeat.
