We then moved on to Umhlali school to play our only game in boots. The 'A' game was unfortunately delayed by an hour but was certainly worth the wait. Indeed it was one of the best U13 perfomances I have seen in a long time. The boys played with an unmatched physical intensity throughout the game which, combined with intelligent use of the ball and very good technical skills, meant we ran out eventual winners 35-5. It was truly an exceptional performance and a privilege to watch.
The 'B' game was more disjointed, primarily because we borrowed six players from Umhlali to make a second XV. However it proved to be an entertaining game with Umhlali winning 24-0.
The evening was spent in a curry house in Durban with some of the boys trying a local delicacy, Durban Bunny, which is a curry contained inside a hollowed out loaf of bread.
