It is the Daisies’ fourth consecutive win in the provincial women’s game. The team from Pretoria was in control of the match from the get-go. 

They also drew first blood when lock Vainah Ubusi forced her way over the line for the first points of the match. Their second try was scored shortly after when centre Zintle Mphupha went over the whitewash for a converted try

But Boland wanted to prove they deserved to be in the final, and they were awarded a penalty after forcing the Daisies’ backline offside. Winger Chloe Adams slotted a 35m effort between the posts, and the Dames were on the board.

The hosts nevertheless scored try number three before the half-hour mark, when winger Shaunique Alexander scored to give the Daisies a 19-3 halftime lead.

The Daisies scored first in the second half as well when they dotted down their second. But Boland responded when the Daisies were ruled offside. Felicia Jacobs tapped, ran and scored for the visitors – a try which Adams converted.

Daisies substitute Lebogang Ralebona crashed over for the hosts’ fifth try, which was converted, before winger Thobile Msizazwe added another two minutes later.

The Dames never gave up until the final whistle and scored in the last play of the match from a line-out play, courtesy of Maxene Valentine.
