Career
Western Province
Gavor played rugby for Rondebosch Boys' High School in Cape Town. He first represented Western Province during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship; he made five starts and four appearances off the bench during [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]'s matches in this competition, scoring two tries in their 55–11 victory over [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][2] as Western Province finished top of the log. One of his replacement appearances came against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the semi-finals in a 24–14 victory[3] and he was also named on the bench in the final, but failed to make an appearance as his side beat [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] 22–18 to clinch the title.[4]
Gavor was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] squad for the 2013 Varsity Cup and the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] squad for the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship.[citation needed]
Golden Lions
Gavor moved to Johannesburg in 2014 to join the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. He was included in university side [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]'s squad for the 2014 Varsity Cup. He didn't make any appearances in the competition proper, but was included on the bench for their relegation play-off match against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. However, he was unused in their 42–8 victory to retain their Varsity Cup status.[5]
Shortly afterwards, he made his first class debut for the Golden Lions in the 2014 Vodacom Cup by starting in their 110–0 victory over the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Polokwane; it took him just nine minutes to score his first try in senior rugby as he got the second of 16 tries in the match.[6] He got another try in their next match, a 27–48 defeat to the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]],[7] in their final match of the regular season to help them qualify for the quarter-finals. The Golden Lions secured a 27–20 victory over a [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the quarter-finals[8] and a 16–15 win over the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the semi-final, as Gavor scored the Golden Lions' only and decisive try just before the half-hour mark.[9] He also started the final, but ended on the losing side as [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] won the match 30–6 to win the competition for the fifth time.[10] He made eleven starts for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, scoring eight tries (which included braces in matches against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][11] and [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]),[12] helping them qualify for the semi-finals. However, despite beating the Blue Bulls twice during the regular season, they could not repeat the feat in the semi-final, losing 19–23 to their Gauteng rivals and eventual champions.[13]
Gavor made two more appearances off the bench for the Golden Lions during the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition in their two matches against the Pumas; a 24–16 victory in Nelspruit in Round Five of the competition[14] and a 20–43 defeat in Johannesburg in the semi-finals.[15] He was included in their Currie Cup squad for the first time in 2015 and made his debut in this competition by appearing as a late replacement in their final match of the regular season, a 29–19 victory over [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[16]
