The last morning of the 2011 Craven Week started fine, crisp with the promise of even better as the sun got going.

Weather much the same as all week, and rugby much the same as well - another high-scoring match and another big victory on this day of 'strength vs strength'. But the other two early matches produced exciting encounters.

Leopards vs Border Country Districts, 83-21

Playing at Hoërskool Diamantveld, the Leopards led 43-6 at half-time.

In their three matches Border Country Districts conceded 184 points. Last year they were better, conceding 152 points. Clearly they are a team that needs a rethink - has needed a rethink for some time.
