The Greek earns his first Currie Cup start




"I needed a flyhalf who could give the side direction, make good decisions, make the right
(playing) calls as well as holding his own in defense" -WP coach Alistair Coetzee on his choice of Ikey Demetri Catrikilis for WP's upcoming Currie Cup game against the Leopards.


Catrikilis has been a stand-out player in UCT's rugby season, playing an integral role in the Ikey Tigers victorious Varsity Cup campaign. Last week saw him on the bench for WP in their 26-26 draw against the Griquas but another Province flyhalf injury has opened the way for his first Currie Cup start.


Catrakilis has also been called "the most accurate place-kicker in our system" by coach Coetzee and we at UCT look forward to him slotting over many for another great Blue&White team!


WP vs Leopards kicks off at 19h10 in Potchefstroom on Friday 22 July
