Elsburg come out on top in Kestrel League fixture
Elsburg Rugby Club travelled to Katlehong to face Katlehong Rugby Club in their Kestrel League fixture, on Saturday.
The Elsburg Rugby Club continued their Kestrel League campaign on Saturday with an away match against Katlehong Rugby Club.
The match was played at Katlehong’s home grounds Huntersfield Stadium in Katlehong and was delayed due to the late arrival of a match official.
Once the high tempo match got underway it was clear to see neither team wanted to lose.

Feeling the pressure the home team gave it their all at the restart and were soon rewarded with a penalty, which went to post but was missed.
The visiting team took full advantage of a shaky Katlehong’s fumble and soon scored another try, before the half-time whistle.
The teams picked up where they left off in the first-half with neither willing to give an inch, but through continued pressure, Elsburg was able to break through the home defence to score several tries.
