A humdinger in store!
Tonight sees two Steinhoff Internal League semifinals take place at UCT, as the Steinhoff Cobras take on the unpredictable Steinhoff Wild Boys and Steinhoff Ubumbo face off against the Steinhoff Spanners.
Ubumbo and Spanners both got kicked out of playing for the top four positions and are now playing for fifth position in the University of Cape Town's league.
This might seem like a match of no consequence but in the Steinhoff UCT Internal League every game matters to these boys and tonight will see another fiercely contested match as these teams meet for the second time this year.
The match of the evening is between the Cobras and Wild Boys match.
Both teams have and equal chance of making the final. The Steinhoff Cobras, however, have experience in their side - boasting Varsity Cup winner Pete Haw (pictured) on the bench - and this could prove the deciding factor. The Steinhoff Wild Boys, on the other hand, have been the darkhorses of this competition.
They started there campaign on a sour note to now be competing for a final spot in the League. A very physical team up front, and with sleek runners in their backline, this could just be the key to unlocking that long-awaited final spot!
