Hoërskool Punt left their Mossel Bay home for windy Oudtshoorn for their FNB Classic Clash with Langenhoven Gimnasium and won it 18-13.

Punt were favourites to win but then they had the bitter memories of defeat at home in 2010 when Langenhoven Gim came from behind to win 27-23.

There was no winning comeback this year. They led 109-6 at half-time and despite the home side's territory advantage they were still winning at the end - much of it thanks to their SA Academy flyhalf Linden Rhode who scored all their points.
