The Elsburg Eagles Rugby Club travelled to Hoërskool Stoffberg, on Saturday, for their first league matches of the season.
The event was hosted by Bobbies Rugby Club.
“Some of Boksburg’s age groups were unable to field teams, meaning that we automatically won these matches.

The club was pleased with their teams’ performances and is encouraging more players to get involved in the sport.
“Our aim is to develop players and improve their rugby skills.
“We have grown substantially but we still have a lot of open spaces to fill in all age groups,” said Smuts.
The club, which caters for age groups u-6 to u-18, practises from 6pm to 8pm on Monday and Wednesday, at the Elspark Sports Grounds, at the corner of Heidelberg Road and Egret Street, in Elspark.
