The DHL Storm entered the holiday season with a third consecutive league win over the Queensgate Pigs Trotters to guard their top spot in the Alex Alexander Memorial League table.
The victory over the so far winless Pigs Trotters was not an easy affair however as the Pigs Trotters looked set to secure not only their first XVs win in over a year but what would be the biggest upset of the season.
The Pigs Trotters maintained the lead in the game for the majority of the 80 minute match up. Marco Du Plessis was once again the hero for the Pigs Trotters as he guided his team into control of the game but a late surge from the Storm, led by Venassio Tokotokovanua meant that the Trotters hearts were broken once again as the DHL Storm trudged off 29-22 victors. The loss did give the Pigs Trotters their first league points of the season as they only lost by 7 points and bolstered their confidence.
The John Doak Architecture Iguanas season lies in the balance as they faltered to their second defeat of the season against a determined Krys Global Buccaneers side. The Iguanas, who had the week before overcome the Queensgate Pigs Trotters, failed to maintain any momentum and some unforced errors gave the Buccaneers the chance to win 17-11.
