Maties demolish UWC in Bellville

Maties hooker Dan Jooste Maties hooker Dan Jooste in the Varsity Cup
Published on February 24, 2020

Dan Jooste and Gift Dlamini both scored braces as Maties powered to a 77-5 derby victory over UWC in Bellville on Monday. DYLAN JACK reports.

The victory had Maties go three for three as the defending champions continued to carry their form through from their first two games at the Danie Craven Stadium. It is the third straight game where Maties have scored 60 points, leaving their opponents grasping at thin air.

Unbelievably, the Maroon Machine are unbeaten since the start of the 2018 season and probably look to go unbeaten through to the playoffs this year unless Tuks or NWU can pull something off.

As expected, the contest itself was rather one-sided as the visitors dominated almost every aspect of the game, leaving UWC feeding on scraps.

It was an ominous start as hooker Dan Jooste went over from a maul after just one minute and it did not get better as Maties went on to score a further four first-half tries.

Maties contiued their momentum in the second half as Dewald Naude crossed for a fine individual point-of-origin try, before Jooste powered through for his brace.

To UWC’s credit, they did manage to convert when they got the opportunity in the first half as wing Peter Williams went over in the corner after their first real, sustained period of pressure.

The home side are still a ways off from providing a real challenge for the best side in the competition and will be looking to their next two games against CUT and UJ to continue their push for a top-five finish.

UWC – Try: Peter Williams.
