Rovers run rampant

- JOS ROBSON

DURAN Krummeck, with four tries to his name, was the destroyer-in-chief for College Rovers in their runaway 94-3 victory over Richards Bay this past Friday.

Any side facing the holders of the Optimum Moor Cup after they had been surprising­ly beaten by Westville Old Boys in the opening round the week before, was bound to be on the receiving end of a full out onslaught from a hurting outfit.

On this occasion, it was the unfortunat­e side from “The Bay” who suffered one of the biggest losses in their history, aggravated further by the fact that they are also celebratin­g their 50th anniversar­y this year.

Crossing for 14 tries, including those from Krummeck, braces were recorded by Gerardo Jaars, Charlie Mayeza and Ryan Muller; followed with one each from Monwabisi Pina, Thabiso Mdetshe, Marco Pelvie and Jason Alexander, while Inny Radeba concluded the scoring with his trusty boot.

In the other encounters this past weekend, Bennie Mashabane led the charge with two tries for Durban Collegians in their 38-5 victory over UKZN Pietermari­tzburg, while Varsity College flyhalf JP du Preez was in fine form with two tries, five conversion­s and a penalty for 23 point haul in beating UKZN Durban 45-5.

Vox Crusaders, meanwhile, beat Amanzimtot­i Rugby Club 50-3.
