Day two of the Coca-Cola under-13 Craven Week in Bela-Bela saw
the teams that came into the week as favourites to play in Friday’s prestigious main game all
successfully negotiate their second hurdle and set themselves up for what will
in effect be semifinals when play resumes on Thursday.
Wednesday is traditionally a rest day at the week and, in
keeping with the venue, the boys will be spending it at the poolside, and in
the water, courtesy of Forever Warmbaths, one of the co-sponsors of the event,
despite it being mid-winter, and freezing in other parts of the country.
There were impressive wins on day two for the four unbeaten
sides, Pumas, Western Province, the Blue Bulls, KwaZulu-Natal and the Golden
Lions.
The Blue Bulls beat the Leopards 14-0 in a hard-fought
encounter, the Pumas were 22-14 winners over the Border Country Districts side,
Western Province scraped home 10-7 against Eastern Province and the Lions
produced a solid defensive effort to keep out the dangerous Border runners and
win 18-7 in the final game of the day.
Other big winners on day two included Boland, who bounced back
from a loss to the Bulls on day one to beat KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday, and the
hosts, Limpopo Blue Bulls, who notched up a popular 22-5 win over the Valke in
their second outing.
