Paul Roos Gimnasium claimed a third successive home win over Grey College, while SACS, Queen’s College and Graeme College also claimed notable victories on Saturday.
In Stellenbosch, Paul Roos produced a commanding second-half performance to beat Grey College 37-29, avenging a narrow loss in Bloemfontein last year.
Grey College led 14-13 at the break but the Maroon Machine took control after the restart.
Eighthman Gerard Bekker crossed twice, his second a stunning long-range intercept that effectively ended the contest, while blindside Stef de Villiers, left wing Cadynn Samuels and outside centre Jean Hamman also touched down as the hosts ran clear.
Paul Roos finished the season with 15 wins and two losses, while Grey suffered a fifth defeat having also gone down to Stellenberg, Australia’s Nudgee College, Paarl Gim and Affies.
Elsewhere in the Western Cape, SACS battered Bishops 55-22, Rondebosch edged Wynberg 33-29 to deny them a Cape Town southern suburbs clean sweep this season, and Bellville saw off DF Akademie 21-18.
In the Eastern Cape, Queen’s beat Dale 22-12 to share the series 1-1, Graeme outclassed Muir 54-27 to end the season with 15 wins (along with one draw and one loss) and Grey High defeated Selborne in a high-scoring 61-47 thriller.
