UJ sneak it in PE
The FNB UJ Young Guns managed to beat the FNB NMMU Young Guns 34-31 in a tightly contested affair in Port Elizabeth on Monday.
The game started very well for UJ when they went into an early lead after they scored two tries in the first ten minutes of the game.
UJ managed to gain a big 21-0 lead after the first 20 minutes of the game after scrumhalf Kallie Erasmus scored.
NMMU were not going to lie down and hit back with three tries of their own and actually went into the half-time break with a 24-21 lead.
They managed to score straight away after the break to give themselves a 29-21 lead.
That missed conversion cost them as UJ scored ten minutes into the second half and made it 29-26 to NMMU with a quarter of the game to go.
This really put life into the UJ side who managed to score once more try before the end to just pip the Madibaz at the end.
