Griquas made sure the Valke will complete their Absa Currie Cup rugby season without a win when they beat the East Randers 65-25 in Brakpan on Saturday. The winners were ahead 44-3 at half-time.
As has been the case all season, the Valke showed glimpses of talent and good coaching, only to fall back on bad habits and even worse defending. This resulted in the Griquas running in eight tries to entertain a very small crowd.
Griquas, not known as a team that can perform away from home, proved their critics wrong with a powerful display in the first half. They dominated possession and breached the Valke defence almost at will.
The Valke recovered somewhat in the second half, but it was too little too late. — Sapa
