Skinstad scores in comeback
April 27, 2002

Bob Skinstad made a scoring return from injury as Western Province recorded their first Vodacom Cup win of the season with a 28-12 Shield victory at Newlands.

The Springbok captain has been out of action for a couple of months after undergoing a shoulder operation after picking up an injury in the Test against the USA Eagles in December.

His presence clearly lifted the Cape Town side as they scored a further three tries, while also keeping the visitors tryless.

Joining Skinstad with five-pointers wingers Jeffrey Stevens and Patrick Peterson, and flanker Fiela van Zyl. The Griffons could only reply with four Slang Roux penalties.

Scorers:

Western Province - Tries: Bob Skinstad, Jeffrey Stevens, Fiela van Zyl, Patrick Peterson; Conversion: Chris Rossouw; Penalties: Rossouw, Eric Olivier.

Griffons - Penalties: Slang Roux (4).
