Their first game was only supposed to be held after the kit handout, which took place on the evening of May 26, but due to NWU’s opposing team not being able to play against them on that weekend, Northerns stepped up to the plate.
NWU won 28-18.
Morne Labuschagne and Johan Kruger scored the two Northerns tries. Eugene Horn succeeded with a conversion kick and two penalties.
