The league kicks off in less than a week now with Round 1 being played this Wednesday 26th April. (the next day is Freedom Day) It promises to be a huge event with all 16 sides featuring in the round.
But wait there is more. This year also sees the introduction of many other features to make Wednesday nights at the Rugby Club, somewhat more, of a social event.
Round 1 is the inaugural opening of a new addition to the prize roster with sides competing for the weekly ‘Sobhar Shield’. Based on the NPC Ranfurly Shield, the Sobhar Shield starts in the hands of the side that finished closest to the bottom last year and the side that beats them, becomes Shield holder. Sides hold the Shield until they are beaten.
-------------------------------She isn' the Shield unfortunately but you get the point.
Playing for the Shield this week in the A League is challngers, the Barbarians, vs arch-rivals (stroke brotherteam) the holders, the Marquard Lions. In the B League, title holder the fierceless College team will be holding off the challenge of the Shebeen Boys...
However not only are the players blessed with new things this year but so to are the fans. Yes, I can put truth to the rumour that Ash the Chicken Burger Man will be there and the bar has decided to open a satellite bar between the B and C field. Now you won’t have to miss valuable rugby watching time to go on a beer run. There will also be huge bar specials…
See you Wednesday!!!!
