The rugby season is in full swing, the sun’s shining brightly most days and the nippy wind isn’t deterring any of the guys to take to the field, pass the ball around and get into the ruck.
While school contact sports have been suspended for the time being, club rugby is still going strong and the work is put in to ensure the players are in tip-top shape.
Khosa Rugby Club is in the midst of their GLRU Senior Grand Challenge league and on Saturday, 29 May took on the Randfontein Rugby Club on Krugersdorp High School’s field.
This marked the first round and the fourth match of the tournament. Each of the seven clubs in the league will face off against each of the other clubs twice in the two rounds over four months until the semi-finals are played in September.
At the end of the day, each club walked away with two wins, with Randfontein’s first team securing their win against Khosa with a 17–10 score, and their U/20s winning 31–14.
Khosa’s second team beat the Teine boys 63–21, and their thirds’ winning score was 36–10.
This weekend, on Saturday, 5 June, Khosa has a bye while Randfontein goes up against Diggers RC; Harlequins RC against Union RC; and Soweto/Kagiso RC against Germiston RC.
