Schools Wrap: Monument crowned northern champs

Monument scored a try in the last minute to beat rivals Garsfontein in the Noordvaal Cup final, while there were wins for Rondebosch and Oakdale in the closing weekend of schools derby action on Saturday.

The White Bulls claimed a 30-28 victory over Garsfontien on home soil in Krugersdorp to win the Noordvaal Cup title for the 10th time in their history.

The win came courtesy of a late try from substitute hooker Stephan Uys, who powered over from a rolling maul with time up on the clock.
