Completion of the Villager Schools Sevens Rugby Tournament 2007.
Saturday 8th September was a fantastic morning at Villager Rugby Club. The completion of the 39th tournament kicked off at 10:00am.
The weather was over-cast but fine. A nice crowd turned out to support the boys through the Quarter -Finals, Semi-Finals and Final.
The first match was Bishops vs. Tableview but Bishops were unable to attend so Tableview got an automatic walk-through to the Semi-Finals. Rondebosch played Jan Van Riebeeck and won 31-17. SACS played Temperance and won 31-0. And a very impressive Fish Hoek side beat Wynberg 29-19 in one of the most entertaining matches of the morning.
In the Semi-Finals, Rondebosch continued their winning streak, and beat Tableview 43-0. Fish Hoek then came up against SACS and lost 24-0. The final would see Rondebosch play SACS.
By this stage of the tournament, the stadium had filled up quite nicely with the spectators during the 15 minute break before the final. SACS raced to a 47-5 victory in the 20 minute match, with an exceptionally classy display of rugby.
Their man of the match was a very on form Chad Moolman who was a force to be reckoned with… scoring tries and putting points on the board with his boot. Chad, is son of former provincial player and current WP Sevens and U21 Coach – Anton Moolman.
SACS Road to Victory :
SACS vs. LAGUNYA (38-0)
SACS vs. TEMPERANCE (31-0)
SACS vs. FISH HOEK (24-0)
SACS vs. RONDEBOSCH (47-5)
This is only the 3rd time that SACS have won the tournament. Previous wins were 1973 and 1998.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable morning. Well supported under the circumstances resulting from being washed out on Friday 31st August.
Total domination by the boys in Blue and White. Well done SACS!
