Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Western Province kept a fighting Sharks at bay to win and eliminate the Durban-side from progressing through to the Currie Cup playoffs at Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch on Friday.<\/p>\n

As it happened |<\/b><\/p>\n

Currie Cup – Western Province v Sharks<\/p>\n

The home side won 28-21 after leading 14-0 at half-time.<\/p>\n

Western Province got off to a stellar start as they scored tries through Sergeal Petersen and Thomas Bursey, while Cornel Smit slotted a conversion and penalty to put the hosts in the lead at the halfway stage.<\/p>\n

The Sharks came back firing in the second half, with Sikhumbuzo Notshe getting the Durban-franchise off the mark.<\/p>\n

Shortly afterwards, Le Roux Roets scored another try for the Sharks, but WP scrumhalf Bobby Alexander touched down to extend their lead.<\/p>\n

Sharks wing Marnus Potgieter gave the side some hope as he scored in the corner to bring them back within one point.<\/p>\n

But Cornel Smit’s boot was the difference as he landed two conversions and three penalties to end their Currie Cup campaign on a high.<\/p>\n

Sharks flyhalf Boeta Chamberlain slotted three conversions for his side, as their loss saw them knocked out of the Currie Cup with a fifth-place finish.<\/p>\n

Last week, a Springbok-laden Sharks team crashed out of the United Rugby Championship as they lost 30-27 against the Bulls at Loftus.<\/p>\n

The result also sees the Pumas seal their semi-final spot as they take on the Griquas in Friday’s 18:00 game in Mbombela.<\/p>\n

Scorers:<\/b>
\nWestern Province 28 (15)<\/b><\/p>\n

Tries: Sergeal Petersen, Thomas Bursey, Bobby Alexander<\/p>\n

Conversions: Cornel Smit (2)<\/p>\n

Penalties: Smit (3)<\/p>\n

Sharks 21 (0)<\/b><\/p>\n

Tries: Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Le Roux Roets, Marnus Potgieter<\/p>\n
