The Sasol Secunda Grip & Rip Rugby Club is taking on their first quest in the Community Cold Cup and they will be playing on home soil.
The local squad is facing Rustenburg Impala who were the national club champions in 2014, 2016 and 2019.
The South African Rugby Union explained that the African Rainbow Community Gold Cup is played on a knock-out basis – so if you lose, you are out. The tournament includes 32 club teams throughout the country. Fourteen provinces have nominated two clubs each, as well as one club from the Griffons, while three additional clubs have been invited as wildcard entries.
The tournament – based on the same format as the FA Cup in English soccer – will be staged over five weekends. The Round of 32 and Round of 16 will be contested within the respective North and South sections. From the quarter-finals onwards, the best of the North will face the best from the South. The final is scheduled for 7 October.
Sasol Secunda has previously competed in this prestigious tournament.
The kick off against Rustenburg Impalas is at 15:30 at the Sasol Club on Saturday.
The club asks the support from their community. Anyone is invited to come watch rugby at its best.
Former players who can show a photo of themselves on the field wearing their Sasol jersey, will get a free beer.
