The DHL Western Province Under-19 team made it one from one at DHL Newlands on Saturday, as they recorded a hard-fought 20-16 win over the Vodacom Blue Bulls Under-19 outfit.
The home side trailed by 3-9 at halftime, and also conceded the first try of the day in the second half to trail by 6-16 shortly before the last ten minutes got underway.
But superb tries by centres Justin Geduld (60th minute) and Juan Gunter (65th minute) – within five minutes of each other and both converted by flyhalf Tomasso Allan – put DHL WP in the lead and they held out during the final five minutes for the valuable home victory.
