Brackenfell topple Bay to stay unbeaten
Only three teams remain unbeaten after two rounds of Western Province club rugby's Super League B. They are Brackenfell, Van der Stel and the University of Western Cape.
Newcomers Brackenfell continued with an impressive start to the season by out-playing hosts False Bay 15-9. A week earlier, Brackenfell beat Helderberg, another former Super League A club.
Van der Stel deservedly beat visitors Kraaifontein 24-18, scoring four tries in the process, to gain a valuable bonus point.
Milnerton picked up a bonus point for scoring four tries in their 22-8 defeat of Police, while UWC's pacy backs ensured them a hard-earned 19-15 victory over a game Schotsche Kloof-Walmers.

Meanwhile, Bellville, who were relegated to the Premier League A, suffered their second successive defeat when they went down to Elsies River at the weekend.
The heavier Bellville forwards, with Jaco Pienaar at No 8, held their own. Their backs, in spite of gaining a fair share of possession, were guilty of trying to do too much.
In fact, Bellville out-scored Elsies three tries to two, but Elsies' hero was flyhalf Bevan Losper, whose three penalties proved decisive.
