Africa-Press – Namibia. Windhoek High School (WHS) thumped Pro Ed Academy 61-18, while log leaders Moria also recorded a runaway 64-3 win against De Duinesig in the Namibia Schools Sport Rugby u19 league on Saturday.
At WHS’ Vegkop Stadium, the home side ran in nine tries in a dominant display.
WHS took a while to get going and Pro Ed actually took an early lead through a try by their centre Mias Nieuwoudt, converted by flyhalf Jusin Engelbrecht, but WHS soon drew level when scrumhalf Damian Klein snapped up a loose ball to dart through unopposed for a try behind the posts.
WHS started to assert their dominance and further tries by flyhalf Mc-Rein van Wyk and lock Keanan Louw, all converted by Van Wyk, gave WHS a 21-7 lead at the halftime break.
WHS stepped up the tempo in the second half as they ran Pro Ed ragged in an impressive display of running rugby.
Lock forward Isaiah Kazondovi had a great match scoring two tries, while wing Steven van Wyk, flanker and captain Pieter Jan Strydom, prop Jadin Bock, and substitute forward Stephan Pretorius also touched down.
Mc-Rein van Wyk gave an impressive kicking display, converting eight of the nine tries for a personal tally of 21 points.
For Pro Ed, hooker Narib Miles scored a late consolation try after intercepting the ball and running 70m clear to touch down, while Engelbrecht added two penalties. Centre Alvandro Diergaardt also had a fine match, catching the eye with his dynamic midfield attacks.
