UCT fencers represent at Olympic Qualifier in South Korea
Three fencers have been selected to represent South Africa at the men’s foil World Cup in Seoul, South Korea this weekend. They are Jacques Viljoen (UCT), Jarryd New (CPUT) and Skye Pym-Siljuer (UCT). These three fencers have also been selected for the World Student Games later this year.
The competition is the first team world cup of the Olympic qualification season. To qualify, South Africa must be ranked 1st in Africa and in the top 16 in the world. The team was ranked 15th in the world last year but dropped to 20th after missing the first half of the 2011 season due to lack of funding.

Good Luck boys!

Hockey Update
The hockey season is well on it's way, and UCT has 14 teams competing externally.
Intervarsity 1929
The annual rugby clash between the universities of Cape Town (Ikeys) and Stellenbosch (Maties) has a rich history dating from 1911. This game took place in Stellenbosch.
Ikey Tigers Claim Intervarsity
It's a century old rivalry - one that led to the iconic naming of teams as "Ikeys" and "Maties"; and one that has never wained in passion nor support. At times it has found us feeling inspired and zealous, at others crushed and brokenhearted.

Basketball get their claws out for Fri 13th!
Ikeys looking strong
Ikey Tigers forward Don Armand (pictured) scored a brace of tries as the 2011 Varsity Cup champions claimed a whopping 40-10 win over WP Super League newcomers, Belhar, at Groote Schuur on Saturday.
Flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis, back in the UCT side after his Western Province debut last weekend in the Vodacom Cup, slotted five conversions for the students.
UCT led by 14-10 at half-time, as they played into the wind in the first half, but things opened up nicely in the second stanza with the wind at their backs.
This game was just a warm-tho for the big clash this Saturday (May 14) vs Maties in Stellenbosch

Ikeys Alumnus Earning his International Stripes
Last Sunday, May 1, saw former Ikey Tigers captain Stu Commins warming the bench for the Northhampton Saints in their Heineken Cup semi-final against Perpignan.
Of course, Commins is not the only former Varsity Cup player currently playing abroad. His ex-UCT teammate Mat Turner is an England Sevens international, whilst former Ikeys captain JJ Gagiano is in line to make the USA Rugby World Cup squad - having already played 11 Tests for the Eagles.
