Western Province edged the Golden Lions in the final match of the FNB U18 Girls Week while Border Country Districts snatched a late draw against the Blue Bulls in the last round of the FNB U16 Girls Week at Queens High School in Johannesburg on Friday.

WP and the Bulls claimed wins on Friday to finish the U18 Girls Week unbeaten, while Eastern Province, the Limpopo Blue Bulls, South Western Districts, the Pumas, Border and KwaZulu-Natal secured third-round victories to end their campaigns on a high.

WP got off to a slow start in the final match against the Lions, but cracked into gear after half-time. The girls from the Cape scored five unanswered tries and 31 points in the second stanza, with flyhalf Nuha Levy contributing a try as well as three conversions.

Earlier in the day, No 8 Amanda Seokotsa scored a hat-trick in the Limpopo Blue Bulls’ 31-15 win over the Griffons, while loosehead prop Jessica Ejeleonu touched down three times for the Valke in the East Rand outfit’s 27-25 loss to the Pumas.

In the final round of the U16 Girls Week, the Lions beat WP 17-7 to finish their campaign with three consecutive wins.

Border Country Districts drew 12-12 with the Bulls in the last game of the tournament, with the Eastern Cape side ending their campaign unbeaten.

The Randlord Mansions: Palaces of the Mining Elite

The move to Parktown began in the 1890s, led by the likes of Sir Lionel Phillips and his wife, Lady Florence Phillips. They sought a location that was close enough to the gold mines for business but high enough to catch the clean breezes of the Highveld. The result was a neighborhood of architectural opulence that had no equal in the Southern Hemisphere. These were not mere houses; they were sprawling estates designed by the most famous architects of the British Empire, including Sir Herbert Baker, who brought a “Cape Dutch-meets-Arts-and-Crafts” aesthetic to the rocky ridges of Johannesburg.
