This lead to two Penalties by fullback Nico Burden and Pearson went up 6-0. A concentration laps in defence led to Nico Malan scoring their first try with a brilliant run by centre Selvyn Davis dotting down in the corner.
What looked like a try against the upright for Pearson lock Linden Gordon was disallowed because of no clear evidence of the ball being grounded , could have been a healthy lead for the lads from Jenvey road however Pearson hit back just before half time with a try by strong running inside centre Siwa Mandlake to make the score 13-10 in Pearson’s favour at half time.
The second half was a yo – yo battle between two top sides but at the end an interception by Nico Malan rounded off by speedy Selvyn Davis was the difference bringing the score to Nico Malan 20 Pearson 13 at full time.
