Kovsies are eagerly awaiting the finals of the Steinhoff Koshuis League after Steinhoff Vishuis smashed the Steinhoff Villagers of the North-West University with 57-3 in the semi-finals on Monday, 22 March 2010.
When looking at their performance this week, it is clear that Steinhoff Vishuis will be extremely dangerous in next week’s final!
Steinhoff Vishuis will play the final match of the Steinhoff Koshuis League against Dagbreek from Maties on Monday, 29 March 2010 at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch at 16:30. The match will be broadcast on SuperSport.
On Monday, 22 March 2010 Shimlas played in the semi-finals against Ikeys of the University of Cape Town. They lost 27-21.
In general it was a good season for the Shimlas, who for the first time played in the semi-finals. Congratulations once again to our Shimlas with their good performance in the FNB Varsity Cup.
