BOLAND BEAT EAGLES
The SWD Eagles suffered their second loss of the Currie Cup by losing to the Boland Cavaliers 49 - 24 (halftime 34 - 10) in Wellington on a cold, wet and miserable Wellington afternoon on Friday.
The Eagles were unable to score a bonus point try and scored 3 tries by Howard Noble and Jeff Taljard (2). All 3 tries were converted by fullback Elric van Vuuren, who also succeeded with a penalty. The injuries suffered the previous week against the Valke clearly had an impact on the team, although a player like Dumisani Msilane had a very good game. The Boland scored 8 very well worked tries.
The Eagles next face the log leaders, EP Kings at Outeniqua Park on Friday 26 August 2011. Kickoff is at 17h00 as the match is broadcast live by Supersport.
