Valiant DHL WP Under-21s go down

PUBLISHED: July 28, 2012


A valiant DHL Western Province Under-21 team suffered their first defeat of the 2012 season, going down 23-35 to a star-studded Vodacom Blue Bulls Under-21 team at DHL Newlands on Saturday.

The Bulls, led by victorious SA Under-20 skipper Wiaan Liebenberg, scored four tries to three to keep their unbeaten record this season.

DHL WP staged a brave comeback during the second half, with tries going to replacement forwards Stephan Coetzee and Jody Reyneke, but a late converted try kept the Bulls’ noses in front despite a late try by DHL WP’s Andries Truter.
