DHL Western Province picked up their first win of the 2013 Women’s Interprovincial Series season, beating Eastern Province by 34-12 in Cape Town on Saturday.
A solid performance by the DHL Western Province pack allowed them to bounce back from their season-opening defeat against the Blue Bulls for a convincing victory against EP in this ‘A Division’ clash.
The team’s scrums and line-outs were particularly impressive and they backed this up with a solid defensive effort. WP’s attack was so effective that they crossed the tryline five times, while the Port Elizabeth team battled to make their presence felt.
Border and KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday proved again that they have the potential to be finalists this season, as they powered their way to another round of convincing victories to maintain their unbeaten status in the ‘A Division’.
In an exciting third round’s action, KZN thumped Boland 36-0 in Worcester, Border cruised to a 36-5 victory against SWD in East London and the Griffons handed the Golden Lions their second defeat of the season as they worked their way to a 21-13 win in Welkom.
The Valke and Limpopo Blue Bulls, meanwhile, made their presence felt in the ‘B Division’.
The Valke pipped the Pumas 12-10 in Kempton Park to remain the only unbeaten team, while the Limpopo Blue Bulls created an upset against Griquas as they dominated proceedings for a fantastic 52-34 victory.
