Of all the players from the different universities who played in the recent 2010 FNB Varsity Cup tournament, a Kovsie, Boom Prinsloo walked off with the overall Player-that-Rocks Award after being voted as the Player of the 2010 FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International. In three of Shimlas’s eight matches this star No.8 was named player of the match for his high work rate on attack as well as strong defence. This earned him three man-of-the-match wards. With his seven touchdowns, including four against NMMU, he and Lola Waka from the University of Johannesburg also jointly ended up as top try-scorers of the tournament. Boom picked up R15 000 for his efforts and can feel well-satisfied with his hard work this season.
