THE GOLDEN LIONS AND BLUE BULLS PLAY IN THE MAIN MATCH ON DAY 2 OF THE COCA-COLA UNDER 16 GRANT KHOMO WEEK


The Golden Lions and the Blue Bulls have been given the honour of playing in the late game on day 2 of the Coca-Cola u-16 Grant Khomo Week in Vanderbijlpark on Tuesday after both teams produced stirring late comebacks to win their opening encounters.

The Bulls were 11-10 down to Eastern Province at the break, and 26-17 down three quarters of the way through the match before a flurry of late scoring saw them triumph 30-26.

The hosts, the Valke looked set for a major upset when they lead the Golden Lions 15-7 at the break, but the Lions turned it on in the second half to win 29-20.

Also impressive on day one was Western Province, who smashed the Leopards 50-12, and Border, who scored a rare win over Free State. Eastern Province are rewarded for their good showing against the Blue Bulls with a game against Western Province on Tuesday.
