The second week of the 2015 Western Province Club Rugby season saw some thrilling action take place on Saturday, April 18.

In Super League A, newcomers Sir Lowrians held Stellenbosch to a 16-0 lead at half-time before the class of the students came through and took the game away from the gallant Sir Lowrians 45-22.

The slow start of St Georges continued after they were thrashed again this time by Belhar who ran out comfortable winners at Gustrouw. SK Walmers wasted all their chances in a close game at UWC campus – losing narrowly 22-24.

In other action, Union Milnerton beat Young Peoples 55-19 and Bellville returned to winning ways by beating Pniel Villagers 23-15 in Pniel. NNK were too strong for Brackenfell, whilst Raithby Universals’ poor start continued as they lost away to Franschhoek.
