Ikeys Win WP Super A League!

What's so special about the year 1974 you ask? Well, that was the last time that UCT were League Champions.

Kicking off an incredible season with a first Varsity Cup win, followed by winning Intervarsity at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch, when our Ikey Tigers then pulled off a season double win against Maties on the Greenmile we knew that this year could be the year that saw UCT become league champions for the first time in 37 years!

Being forced to start the league before the end of Varsity Cup and thus field a B team for the first few games; Ikeys started on the backfoot with 2 losses. With Maties charging fullsteam ahead as per usual, the boys in stripes managed 13 consecutive wins in their road to the title - having to win all 3 of their last games with bonus points!

The final game of the league took place on Saturday 24 September (Heritage Day) on the Greenmile against Victorians (Maties B). Ikeys had to fight back from a 12-22 halftime score and as the final whistle blew UCT jumped in jubilation with a 35-22 win!
