KovsieSport has added yet another trophy to their ever-growing collection when they won the Varsity Sevens rugby tournament over the long weekend. 

The undisputed UFS sevens team outwitted the University of Pretoria (UP) with a 24-19 score in the final match at Villager FC in Cape Town on Monday 27 April 2015.

Trailing behind 7-12 at half time, the UFS sevens fought hard in the second half. Crossing the try line twice in those 10 minutes secured final victory for the team who had also finished the group stages at the top of the standings.

Throughout the tournament, the UFS were unbeaten. They beat the Walter Sisulu University 26-17 in their first match of the weekend. Continuing on their winning way, the UFS beat North-West University Pukke 43-12, overwhelmed University of Cape Town Ikeys 44-14, thrashed University of Fort Hare 36-0, and then toppled the Pukke again in the semifinal.

This was truly the best way for KovsieRugby to round off their 2015 Varsity Cup/Varsity Sports season.
