In the main game of the opening day's Coca-Cola Under 13 Craven Week, being held at Durban's Glenwood High School, the Lions managed a last minute penalty to secure a 15-12 victory over hosts KZN after the game was dead-locked 12-all (both teams had scored two tries, one converted). It was an entertaining match played in perfect conditions with a good crowd in support.
