Affies scored twice in the final five minutes to seal a hard-fought victory in the Premier Interschools match against Maritzburg College in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday afternoon.

The boys from Pretoria used the power of their pack to take a 19-0 lead, only for the hosts to produce a strong comeback effort, narrowing the scores to 19-12 in the second half.

However, a penalty from flyhalf Stehan Heymans and try from tighthead prop Zack Maritz in the last five minutes of the contest sealed a sixth straight win for Affies over Maritzburg.
