Stellenberg High celebrated a famous victory against Paarl Gimnasium, while there were also notable wins for Grey College, Durbanville, Northwood and Jeppe.
Gim led the Cape clash 12-3 early in the second half before Stellenberg responded strongly with two converted tries and a penalty.
A missed penalty attempt from Gim left the visitors chasing the game, and although they crossed for another try, Stellenberg withstood a final onslaught from last year’s No 1-ranked SA school to claim a 20-19 victory.
