The EP Queens added more misery to the Border Ladies’ season by outplaying them 36-10 in Gqeberha, scoring six tries in an exciting afternoon of Pick n Pay WSL 1 rugby at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
The Queens were good value for money from the start and romped into a 24-0 lead at the break, as they used their pack with good effect to submit their Eastern Cape foes, who could only score twice in the second half.
EP were out of the blocks quickly in the opening spell, with three forwards tries by Amahla Nyoba, Olwethu Kasibe and Phelisa Mrwebi blitzing Border in the opening quarter of the match. Wing Joanne Boesak got the bonus point try before the break.
Border managed to get some parity in the second half and finished strong with two tries in the last 20 minutes, but by that time the Queens had signed, sealed and delivered their first Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium appearance of the season with a commanding win.
Scorers:
- EP Queens 36 (24) – Tries: Amahla Nyoba, Olwethu Kasibe, Phelisa Mrwebi, Anacadia Minnaar, Julene Haas, Joanne Boesak. Conversions: Haas (3).
- Border Ladies 10 (0) – Tries: Unathi Mali, Aviwe Basana.
