The Hoër Volkskool Heidelberg Sevens opened with a shock result as Hugenote downed Monument 10-5 in an U17 Pool A clash on Saturday. Eventually, though, the hosts joined the big guns of Monnas, Noordheuwel, and Helpmekaar in the Cup semifinals of the Clover High School Sevens Series event.
There is always extra meaning to clashes between Noordheuwel and Monument, the Krugersdorp rivals, and they met for a place in the title game, with Nories advancing after a 31-21 victory. Helpmekaar, meanwhile, ended Volkskool’s strong run with a hard-fought 19-5 victory.
In a tight final, Noordheuwel succeeded Welkom Gimnasium as the champions, holding off Helpemaar 27-22.
Despite their stunning start, Hugenote ultimately found themselves in the Bowl final, but it went the way of Transvalia, who won 26-5. Menlopark lifted the Plate after overrunning Marais Viljoen 48-0.
Victory in the U15 Cup went to Monument, who squeezed past Helpmekaar 19-17 in the final on Friday evening.
Helpies accounted for Noordheuwel in the semifinals, winning 24-12, while Monnas eased past Middelburg Hoërskool 33-0.
Some games were not played because of poor weather conditions.
