Old Georgians Through To Gold Cup
Old Georgians made history on Saturday and will be Zimbabwe's first side to take part in the Gold Cup club competition whre they will host two home games in the 2016 edition after thrashing Old Hararians 39-17 in the main qualifier Police Grounds.
As the Dragons showed a collective team effort, OGs fly-half Lenience Tambwera once again starred for OGs scoring 24 points that were made of two tries, two penalties and four conversions while Boyd Rouse also weighed in with a brace of touch-downs.
Five tries – four of them converted – and two penalties is all the Groombridge-based side need for their victory while the Old Boys managed two converted tries and a penalty but that was not god enough to earn them a place into the Gold Cup.
The first half was evenly balanced and going into the break the Dragons were leading 10-0 after Tambwera had opened the scoring with a penalty that was followed by a converted try.
And early in the second half, Old Hararians hit back quickly with a converted try before the two sides exchanged penalties.
Then the Dragons went on a rampage.
That was when they scored four tries before Old Hararians responded with one deep into the second half but Old Georgians had done enough damage already.
