Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - The Varsity Cup started last week, but the Ikey Tigers match against the NWU Eagles was postponed as the teams were warming up after a student protest at the Green Mile.
The match was rescheduled to be played on Tuesday February 18 at an undisclosed venue. Although the FNB NWU Eagles gave it their all on the field, FNB UCT Ikey Tigers took the win with a final score of 32-23.
The next game for the Eagles will be on February 24 against the Maties at the Fanie du Toit sportsground in Potchefstroom.
In the first round, Maties avenged their semi-final loss to UFS last year with a nail-biting victory over the defending champs at the Danie Craven in Stellenbosch. Maties won 41-37.
UP-Tuks opened their Varsity Cup campaign with a bonus point win over hosts FNB Wits at a wet Wits Rugby Stadium. UP-Tuks secured a 35-8 victory.
