Kovsies 7’s, the University of the Free State’s (UFS) rugby sevens team, took part in two Varsity Sport Sevens tournaments (23 and 24 November 2012, and 30 November and 1 December 2012), as well as the USSA Rugby Sevens tournament (26 and 27 November 2012).
Dougie Heymans of KovsieSport says he is proud of the team. “In the three tournaments over a period of ten days, the team was able to win something at each tournament. At the Varsity Sports 7’s at Plettenberg Bay, the team won the plate competition. At the USSA tournament at George, they were placed third.”
The highlight of the series of matches played was when Kovsies won the Varsity Sports 7’s Tournament at Margate.
