Favourites take all
The final round robin matches were played in the Steinhoff UCT Internal League last night. There were a few must-win matches as teams still had the opportunity to top their respective groups.
The evening started off with the Steinhoff Panthers against the Steinhoff Turtles.
The Panthers started playing like the Panthers team of old. Very physical up front, something that had been lacking for the duration of the season. They do, however, seem to be peeking at the right time, as the quarterfinals now await them.
The Steinhoff Panthers won the match with a three-try victory and with that they will top the group.
The Steinhoff Cobras also had a good run on the park with a four-try victory over Spanners. The game was a fair contest in the first-half. Cobras then stepped up a gear and made sure that they were going into the quarters as joint favourites.
Steinhoff Smuts then took the field next. With a new-look side, they came out and made sure they dealt with their opponents. They blitzed five tries past Ikhaya on the evening.
The final match of the evening was Steinhoff Nadoes against Steinhoff Magic Lions.
The Lions were no pushovers but the Nadoes were just too strong and took the win. They also scored a bonus point victory on the evening too for good measure.
