FULL CURRIE CUP REPORTS

THE Daily Mail & Guardian’s increased sports coverage now brings you all the weekend Currie Cup action.

Province win, barely

WESTERN Province ended their run of three sucessive defeats but they were as convincing as a Bill Clinton denial on Monica Lewinsky as they grimly clung on for a one-point win over the Falcons.

Textbook display sees EP down Boland

EASTERN Province finally put together the performance they have been hinting at all season, and on Saturday few sides would have stood up to their superb display of total rugby, beating Boland Cavaliers 46-24.

Border thumps Griquas

BORDER’s doughty bunch of semi-professionals continued their rise up the Currie Cup table with a fourth win in five matches with a 21-5 win over a Griquas side whose slump has been almost as dramatic.

Bulls scrape through against Eagles

THE Blue Bulls scraped through 36-32 (halftime 24-22) in a nailbiting Currie Cup clash with the South Western Districts Eagles at Loftus Versfeld on Friday night.

Cheetahs outpace Pumas 37-20

The poor, poor Pumas! If ever there was a performance that deserved better, it was the Pumas in their Currie Cup match against the Free State Cheetahs in Witbank on Sunday.

Griffons beat North West 20-19

IF the Currie Cup were to be split into two divisions next season it would difficult to forcast if either the Northern Free State Griffons or North West would be good enough to stay in division two.

Teichmann stars in Sharks win

GARY Teichmann did it all except score as the Sharks earned their eighth Currie Cup win in nine matches this season at King’s Park on Saturday, by beating the Golden Lions 25-17.
