The team from Kimberley won by 40-33.<\/p>\n<p>In total 10 tries were scored in this match, which Griquas all but sealed before the break, when they lead by 34-7. It was a first victory of the season for the team from the Northern Cape, following their draw against DHL Western Province in the first round and heavy defeat to the MTN Golden Lions in Kimberley last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>With midfielder Jean Stemmet grabbing a brace of tries, GWK Griquas showed they wanted to get their Absa Currie Cup campaign back on track. An early try by Ford Pumas flyhalf Coenie van Wyk might have had fans of the Peacock Blues frowning, but after that, the men from Kimberley blitzed their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford Pumas never gave up though and got two bonus points from the game \u2013 for scoring more than four tries and for losing with seven points or less.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ford Pumas \u2013 Tries: Coenie van Wyk, JW Jonker, Corn\u00e9 Steenkamp, Hendrik van der Nest (2).
