Hilton beats Maritzburg College 38-22

2 June, 2013 beet 77

Although Hilton took the lead in the third minute and never looked back, the result was really only secured by the home team in the last five or so minutes when they scored 10 unanswered points. Up until then College were still in with a shout.

Glenwood takes on the Monument Witbulle in a Premier Interschools game this afternoon. The match will be shown on a delayed broadcast at 21:30 on Supersport 1 tonight. One of the players well worth keeping an eye on is Glenwood fullback Corné Vermaak. Vermaak is in outstanding form at the moment. With each passing game he looks to have peaked but then seems to set the bar a little higher with his next outing. …
