Western Province Club Rugby: UCT Challenge Maties

The Ikeys started off the year by winning the Varsity Cup and it was well deserved. They however have had their sights set on something that's been a little more elusive than that, The WP Super A Trophy. The WP Super A league is the top club league in the Western Cape and this piece of silverware has eluded UCT since 1974. 37 years is a long time and that may change this Saturday at UCT.

The irony behind this final game is that they face Victorians, which for those who don't know are a Maties side and UCT's biggest rivals. 
Ikey's  made short work of newly promoted Belhar and secured a bonus point win in their second to last game of the season. They are now four points behind Maties and need a bonus point win this Saturday to win the league outright. Should they only win the game they will share the Super A League with Maties.
It is a tough game to call but UCT have been dominant over all Stellenbosch has to throw at them this season. I see UCT winning but whether it is with four tries or not is another question.

PreJudgement: UCT by 12 (4 Tries)
