Progress walk all over Brumbies

A RUTHLESS Progress side thrashed Brumbies 103-5 in their Grand Challenge Top Seven rugby encounter in Uitenhage at the weekend.

The home side walked all over the Grahamstown side, crossing the line almost at will.

Had it been boxing, the trainer would have thrown in the towel to save the side from more humiliation as the game was as good as done at halftime when Progress led 45-0.

Progress doubled their efforts in the second half as they continued to dominate the encounter. Brumbies managed just one consolation try.

In another Top Seven clash, Despatch outclassed Park 41-3 at Londt Park at the weekend.

The Despatch side, which went into the game having already qualified for the final, ran in six tries to clinch the easy win. They announced their intentions early in the game and went into the break with a comfortable 22-3 lead.

The second half started as the first ended with Despatch on the offensive, adding 19 more points.

Harlequins put in a fine performance to claim a 44-14 victory against a tough PE SAPS side at the Adcock Stadium.

The home side got off to a good start and went into the break leading 32-7. The Castle Lager Sevens champions maintained their lead and defended well. The second half was much more competitive as PE SAPS managed to keep the northern areas side at bay. However, Harlequins managed to add 12 more points, while the visitors added a converted try.
