DHL Western Province were dominant in both the U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week and U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week at Grey College in Bloemfontein as both teams won the final matches in their respective SA Rugby Youth Weeks in style.

The U13 Coca-Cola Craven Week team earned top honours in the competition for the fifth season in a row as they defeated Eastern Province 28-0, while the U16 Coca-Cola Grant Khomo Week team beat SWD 38-10.

The DHL Western Province U13 team got their match off to a flying start against Eastern Province as they retained possession and applied pressure on attack, which earned them two early tries.

Eastern Province tried hard to make a breakthrough, but the Cape side’s solid defence held them out. Another well-timed try by DHL Western Province before halftime extended their lead to 21-0.

The Cape side continued their fine form in the second half and did well to sneak through the gaps in the Eastern Province defence, which earned them another try to take a 28-0 lead.

Eastern Province tightened up the defence as the game progressed, but while this proved to be effective in denying DHL Western Province from adding to their score, they were still unable to make their presence on attack.

The DHL Western Province U16 team, meanwhile, snuck through the gaps in the SWD defence to score six tries to only two by the George side. The forward packs were evenly matched and they delivered solid possession for the backs, but the difference between the sides was the Cape side’s ability to convert half chances into points.

DHL Western Province struck first with a try in the opening minutes of the game and they added another later in the half, while SWD earned only one converted try, which handed the Capetonians a 12-5 halftime lead.

SWD struck back immediately after the break to reduce the deficit to 12-10, but four more well-worked tries by the Cape side allowed them to secure an emphatic 38-10 victory.
