Cobras win Internal Rugby Cup

A typical cold and windy night on the Greenmile saw the culmination of the UCT Rugby Club's Internal League for 2011. 16 teams compete in internal rugby at UCT and are split into two pools based on strength. All teams played last night in place playoffs, but the main attraction was the Cup Final with defending champions Tornadoes taking on the Purple Cobras.

The final was a repeat of last year's tussle, but the tides have turned and the Cobras emerged victorious over their arch nemesis the Nadoes with a final score of 15-8.

Cobras took an early lead scoring two tries in the first half, and the teams went into the halftime break Cobras 10-3 Nadoes. The latter hit back making it 10-8 for much of the second half, before Cobras secured their win with a third try.

The Cobras will now represent UCT at the 2012 Steinhoff Koshuis Champs.
