DHL Western Province Under-16 girls made it two wins from their first two games in Welkom with a 24-10 victory against Border Country Districts on Wednesday.

DHL Western Province Under-16 girls made it two wins from their first two games in Welkom with a 24-10 victory against Border Country Districts on Wednesday.

DHL Western Province, who edged Border in the final match of the competition last season to emerge as the top team, will again meet their East London counterparts in the final match of the tournament on Friday.

DHL Western Province held their nerve to defeat Border 12-10 in a nail-biting final match last season, and with both sides having set high standards in the two opening rounds, with Border scoring over 30 points in both their matches and DHL Western Province over 24 points, the clash should be entertaining.

SWD registered the biggest victory of the day on Tuesday with a morale-boosting 61-0 win against the Leopards, while Border defeated the Limpopo Blue Bulls 32-0.

Eastern Province and Boland also retained their unbeaten status as they played to a 17-17 draw in a nail-biting encounter.

Boland opened up the competition with a 44-0 victory against the Golden Lions, but they faced a tough challenge from Eastern Province, who registered their second draw in the tournament after they finished level on 22-22 with Border CD on Monday.

The National Girls Under-18 Week will be hosted in Kimberley next week, and will follow a similar format with matches on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
