In a match that ebbed and flowed throughout, the Griffons came out on top in their bottom-of-the-log battle against the Bulls in Welkom on Friday as they ran out 32-28 winners.The home side opened the scoring five minutes into the encounter thanks to Soso Xakalashe's try, which Jaywinn Juries converted.

After a period of extended possession in the Griffons' half, Wandisile Simelane ran a perfect angle on a cutback in the 22nd minute to score near the posts for the Bulls.That was soon 13-7 when Juries knocked over another penalty three minutes later. The Griffons, however, hit back on the stroke of halftime thanks to flanker JJ Pretorius, who smashed his way over the line after a break by flyhalf Duan Pretorius.

The Griffons started the second half the stronger of the two teams and were rewarded for their endeavour when Jaco Willemse scored following a rolling maul.Just a minute later, the home side capitalised on a kick ahead deep into Bull territory as winger Jumbo Ulengo was adjudged to put downward pressure on the ball that had just rolled over the try line.
