The Vodacom Blue Bulls secured a second place on the Vodacom Cup North Section log after they beat the Griffons 50-28 at the North West Stadium in Welkom on Friday.

The Blue Bulls were outstanding throughout the game as they ran in eight tries to four against the dominated Griffons who managed just one win in their six matches this season.

The visitors opened the scoring on the second minute when flank Jean Cook barrelled his way over for a converted try.

The visitors called into a 21-0 lead after just 27 minutes courtesy of tries from left wing Courtnall Skosan and inside centre Jan Serfontein.

The Griffons finally scored on the 29th minute when marauding eighthman Nicky Steyn went over for a try that was converted by replacement flyhalf Hansie Graaf.

The visitors were persistent and they enjoyed their success in the second half and tries from replacement flyhalf Willie du Plessis, Sampie Mastriet, replacement fullback Jerome Pretorius and substitute Franco Mostert sealed the victory.
