Western Province triumphant in Amateur Provincial Championship

By

Western Province on Friday continued their dominance in the Southern Amateur Provincial Championship (APPC) in Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape by defeating SWD 13-7 to defend their title.

The Cape side registered a 28-19 victory against SWD in the 2013 final, and also won the title in 2012.

Western Province were tested throughout the clash by the determined SWD outfit, which resulted in a thrilling final. But their ability to make better use of their point-scoring chances earned them the narrow victory.

EP Urban won the Plate Final after they thrashed their Rural counterparts 51-7, while Boland finished the tournament in third place following an impressive 67-5 victory against Border. The Wellington side were dominant from the outset thanks to an impressive attacking display, which they supported with a solid defensive effort.

In the other match Border Rural outplayed EP Invitational 51-29.
